Day 103 - 14 Mar 95 - Page 14


     
     1        the bags to shoo the chickens away -- it appeared that when
     2        they started doing that it was before the first module was
     3        brought in?
     4        A.  Yes.
     5
     6   Q.   But perhaps one could not be certain about that; it is the
     7        picture I got.
     8        A.  Yes.
     9
    10   Q.   Would the space they were able to make be fairly typical or
    11        not of a Sun Valley house?
    12        A.  Yes, it would.  I mean, it actually shows how much
    13        potential space there is available to move and that is why
    14        I do not accept that last comment.
    15
    16   MS. STEEL:   Can I just ask to show a section of that video
    17        again?  It was at the beginning.  It is only for about a
    18        minute and a half.  Also, is it possible to use the big one
    19        just to see whether it does work?  It will not be stopped
    20        and started so I do not know ......
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I will do is, if Mrs. Brinley-Codd does
    23        not mind, we will have the five-minute break now.  Since
    24        the break is, essentially, for Miss Foot, she need not
    25        record anything one I have gone but you can get organised
    26        to be at the beginning of the bit of film you want for when
    27        we resume.
    28
    29   MS. STEEL:  It is actually at the right place as it happens
    30        anyway.
    31
    32                       (Short Adjournment)
    33
    34                 (The witness left the witness box)
    35
    36                  (The video recording was shown)
    37
    38   MS. STEEL:  If you could stop there, please?
    39
    40              (The witness returned to the witness box)
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:  The stocking density in the first of those shots
    43        would not be unusual for Sun Valley, would it?
    44        A.  That was a fairly typical picture of a house.
    45
    46   Q.   And the conditions that the chickens were in, the following
    47        shots would not be unusual for Sun Valley chickens, would
    48        it?
    49        A.  Those were fairly typical shots.
    50 
    51   Q.   Including the one with the chicken that was barely 
    52        breathing in the final shot? 
    53        A.  Well, it was obviously a sick chicken, so that had been
    54        specifically focused on.
    55
    56   Q.   Yes, but it would not be unusual to see chickens like that
    57        in sheds at Sun Valley?
    58        A.  It would not be unusual to have chickens dying of
    59        something in every shed on every day.
