Q. Yes.
2 A. If it was showing abnormal behaviour patterns.
3 Q. What could he do about it?
A. I think what he is likely to do is to pull the
4 chicken's neck.
5 Q. And then eat it?
A. If he is feeling hungry, yes.

MR. JUSTICE BELL: Could I just ask one thing? You used the
7 word "cropping" in relation to collecting broilers for
slaughter?
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. Is that the word which is generally used in the industry;
do they talk about a crop of broilers and cropping them
10 when their time has come?
A. It may not be in common usage, but it is used
11 sometimes, yes. The actual catching is a common term for
actually removing the birds. It is often referred to as a
12 crop, when you look back retrospectively on a group of
birds going through the unit.

Q. Whether it was a good crop or a bad crop?
14 A. Yes, precisely.

other.

MS. STEEL: They should have the photocopy of it anyway.

24 witness's copy of the brochure.
25 MS. STEEL: No, it is my copy.
26 MR. RAMPTON: I apologise. That is an exhibit, I think, so it
will have to stay in court.
27
MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I am suggesting is if each side, as it
28 were, has one of the originals. I do not think it need
stay in as an exhibit, because if any future witness needs
29 to be shown a proper photograph then you have each got one
to do it.

MR. MORRIS: Could we sort -- I cannot remember what is
