Wonderful. Perhaps the chicken had ... said something?

I love this cartoon. So much humour, the expression on that poor chicken's face is priceless and the badger looks so determined. You've made me smile today, such a nice story with a happy ending. I don't imagine that a badger would eat a chicken so he must have really upset him!

Thanks for the kind words on the above picture. We thought the chicken may have said something to the badger to cause offence too.

Last year I was alerted to this phenomenon when I heard the cry 'Good grief, there's a badger chasing a chicken in the orchard'. Needless to say I ran to help and chased the badger off. The chicken must have had a real adrenilin rush as it had done two laps of the paddock and one of the orchard with the badger close on it's heels. The crazy thing was that the badger was ignoring the other chickens who just stood and watched as they ran past. It was determined to get this particular chicken.
