Chapter 3 Wild Fowls and others

One fine beautiful morning Teddy noticed wild fowls chasing his chickens.Wild chickens fetched a good price too.So he hatched out a plan to catch them,but trapping wild chickens were illegal.A permit is required for its capturing or shooting and there was a season for such hunting.

Nevertheless,Teddy ignored the above and planned to trap them.His feeding of chickens were always in a fenced area at regular hours but the wild fowls were good fliers and easily flew away from that cage.He improved that fencing to trap all those wild chickens.The enclosure was improved to 40'by 40'width.It was not only netting on all four sides but also on its top to prevent birds trapped within from escaping through the air.

Later he found that was not so secured sufficiently,so he reinforced the lower portion of fencing with strong gauged wire netting.By so doing even wild boars trapped in it cannot escaped.A trap door was placed at its entrance.By so doing all the existing chickens were only within that enclosure and feeding the birds at regular time.

Day after day Teddy fed the all the chickens within a suitable time and observed his enclosure closely.It took some time before the wild chickens dared to walk into that enclosure.These wild chicks were very smart and careful on the vigil at all time.They hesitated then when all were quiet and with no one around then they slowly sneaked into that enclosure to consume the food within.

Obviously they were also attracted by the hens and within this enclosure the hens had not much space to run and the wild cockerel easily caught up with them.Here love really proves to be fatal. By this method Teddy was able to trap many wild chickens,both male and females.However the small wild fowls and the chicks were released back into the wild.His chickens were also cross breed with the wild chickens,bearing stronger and more beautiful breeds of chicks.

In the night he was also able to trap other animals like foxes (Musang),and many a times especially during rainy nights Pythons.Huge pythons were also caught as they come during the darkness to steal chickens in chicken coup as well as those perching on the branches of the fruit trees.

For Teddy these were extra income for the Proprietor.The pythons sometime can be easily caught but at times it was very difficult.For this he enlisted the watchman who was an Asli (native) to assist him.Of course the asli was an expert in catching these reptiles.

Wild boars at times also wander around looking for food.Smelling feed within the enclosure these pigs just walked into it and were trapped.Mother pig with litters were always released while the others were captured and sold away.

Iguanas were the worst enemies of the farm for they sneaked in to steal chickens and such greedy feeders were easily trapped by using hooks with rotting meat as baits,and can be sold to animal traders for their meat and skin.

The hawks were also pests of the farm for they attacked the chickens and easily carried them away for food.Difficult to shoot or trapped them but fortunately the low branching of certain fruit trees protected chickens from being carried away.Human presence also deter them from attacking.

All these provided extra income for the Boss and in actual fact the farm was self sufficient despite many of the fruits trees were not matured.The Boss was always very pleased at Teddy's performance,especially the Boss Rosie.

With the farm running so efficiently the Boss was present weekly with her friends,staying in the new bungalow.Whenever they were there Teddy always prepared all their meals for them.He had a special worker who can prepare various types of chicken curries and many a time wild chicken curry.

At night he will make sure they enjoyed his barBque of chickens if not wild boar.As if insufficient he made sure all the Boss's friends can also packed some of these food home.Not only these ,available fruits and vegetables were also harvested and the best selected for them to take home as well.These made the Boss very very happy.

The farm was visited regularly by the Boss,as she was the sole owner of that farm all income from sales of birds and fruits were handed over to her.She of course was very pleased because the farm was not at a lost,despite her frequent visits.

At the rate it went Teddy's remunerations was increased.That encouraged Teddy to toiled harder for the farm.With the next few years the Boss brought another piece of land adjacent to this farm.However that was replanted with oil Palm.
Thus cutting down his cost to substantial the farm.

His relationship with the Boss was ever improving.He knows she was in love with him although she was still married and at least ten year older than him.He loved her that was what matters most,and no obstacles can stop him from loving her.When ever she was at the farm she always had kind words with him him and he seldom argued with her.Therefore relationship was always good.

Every thing he requested were fully granted,for example he complaint of the second jeep was meet with approval to purchase a new one.Reasonable because he now has extra duties in running the extra acreages of an Oil palm plantation although it was only fifty acres.

Should ever Rosie required any fruits from the farm he will obviously have them sent to her without fail.In any case her vehicle was always loaded with fruits whenever she visits the farm.Her charming smiles were always directed at him and he in return was always also admiring her gorgeous body.Many a times he wanted to hold her but refrained fearing that move will anger her.On the other hand too Rosie also wanted to hold him but was always reminded that she is married.

Two lovers eying each other but can hold each other.Well Teddy can wait but can Rosie as she is ten years older than him.Time will surely tell if she was made for him.It surely going to be a frustrating long wait.

There were times that Rosie's husband came to the farm.However he was always with some woman or his second wife.He presented himself at the bungalow but Teddy was reluctant to surrender the house keys to him.All his female friends also demanded to stay there for a day or so."Oh,what a lovely house,it be nice should we passed a night or so here",they were heard saying.But the Boss always answered saying that was not possible."Why are you so scared of her,she is no tigeress",they shouted.

"It is her house,I have given it to her.She would not allow any other females I bring stay here,and the man here has the right to chase us away",he told them."he is not doing it out of respect for me,so I cannot make his job difficult",he demanded.Following he would hurry them off after Teddy had supply him with a load of fruits.

There was at least once his second wife came in to the farm with a load of friends,hoping to stay there for a day or two.Teddy refused her the bungalow's keys.
At that she began to shout and making all sort of comments against him and Rosie,hoping those threats she made will convince Teddy to allow her to stay.

Seeing them so nasty Teddy wanted to give his Boss Rosie a call.Seeing that they lowered their voice so instead of calling Rosie he called her husband,then passed the phone over to her.The phone demanded her to leave immediately the farm but she tried to argue but forcibly had to leave.As she grumbled."Not fair,this farm belonged to my husband,but he was such a coward, so scared of her,he got no........".Teddy just smiled at that waved goodbye to her.

Later when Rosie came in,he kept her informed.In reply she said,"You did right,next time she comes in locked the front gate,to be opened until I come.We will see what she can shout about when I am here".Teddy marveled at her anger and now know that never offend any woman for that matter it could be fatal as he had heard.So Rosie when angry can be extremely nasty.

Rosie seeing his suspicion on her,asked,"What is the matter?Am I really that scary?Are you afraid of me?"."No,no,how can I? You are so lovely even when mad.Yeah you looked more attractive,too",replied Teddy."Sure?" she asked,"You are lying,just trying to make me happy,ha ha ha...".She laughed heartily as she was very happy her young admirer respected her and dare not talk against her.

She actually comes to the farm at least once a week,mostly with the company of a friend,and very often it was a lady called Susan,another attractive woman.She too had an eye for the good looking Teddy.Whenever she spoke to him,he blushed and shy to speak up,that made her to tease him the more.

He shy away from them but his roving eyes always directed at them especially their gorgeous bodies and fantastically large massive boobs.As time went by he was neurotic about their presence.No he was falling for both of them.
