Import Poultry Quarantine Visit

[EuroChook]

Just curious-----
Im aware that there is a mandatory 30 day quarantine for live poultry imported into the USA. Question: do people get to visit their pet chickens in that time?
------do you know the answer?

Thank you for your reply. Their/the policy could be interpreted as a form of abuse, having alienated animal from owner/primary caregiver. It's an insult, if it is that way.

I will pass on to original inquirer.

I would call the phone number Kathy supplied and make sure but it would not be a quarantine if they allowed people to walk onto the property.
