My cousin has a badger living near a little stream at the back of her

Will he do any damage to her garden? She likes having him there; but

she may have to put some protection around her plants. What do you

So long as she doesn't keep chickens she's unlikely to have a problem

:-)


Why would that be a problem? What do badgers do to chickens?


use those front paws to rip through electric fences, smash their way
into the hen house and kill the lot. At least,that's what happened to me
- and I'm not allowed to shoot the *******s!


Have you now given up keeping chickens?


Temporarily!......

I hope you soon come up with an effective solution :-)
