When you say that they both "Nest" what do you mean?
Sit on the nest?
Carry nesting material?
Are there any eggs?
A good trick to use in sexing any dove or pigeon species is to put a decent sized mirror in with them as they see themselves as another bird that they have not seen before. A male will usually bow and coo to the "new" bird.

They sit in the nest without eggs or nesting material.

Sometimes they will lay 4 eggs indicating 2 hens. They might be too young to lay but they do sound like two of the same sex probably hens. Try the mirror.
