Old Hand Products

[showman]

About 7 or 8 years ago, I purchased an Old Hand pigeon product which from memory was called Pigeon Dip. It came in a plastic container, and you emptied the contents into about a gallon of warm water. You then dipped each pigeon in and I found it to be excellent for prolonged lice control. I also remember it having a very 'soapy' feel and the birds took about 3 days to fully dry out !! Have tried to find some more, to no avail. Any help or info. would be much appreciated.

HI showman i remember this product well and i used it many times years back,the nearest thing that i have seen to it is a simple mix that you make up yourself and that works very well.You crush one mothball and add to one pint of hot water and stir to dissolve you then add this to one gallon of water and a teaspoon of baby shampoo dip your birds and you will see it really soaks through and you need to put them into the loft or aviary as it takes forever for them to dry but you will see some shine of them in a couple of days and no mites or lice for months.I think i read about this dip in Bilco's pigeon gas.Hopes this helps

Bit in BHW a while back saying that they were finishing up and retiring, then a Company bought them over. Sorry, can't remember who new firm are, but the Old Hand' brand name is retained.
