Hi Manny, this is what your imports had to endure for 12 weeks down here on top of 16 weeks in a similar facility in the UK so you can see what I mean by a bird needing a tough constitution. I was only in there for five minutes and could not wait to get out.

See the sacrificial sentinel chickens on the top front deck, a must for all importations. Importations have been temporarily suspended due to no sentinels being available, they are bred in a disease free environment solely for detecting airborne diseases that may emanate from this quarantine station. Just one of the many hurdles we have to overcome in importing, it's not for the fainthearted I can tell you.

Regards, Mick.
