Bake it. Baked bacon is very good. Way better than microwave bacon.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the bacon slices on the baking sheet. Cook the bacon for 18-20 minutes or until it's as crispy as you'd like. Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Thanks. (I have never made bacon in the oven)

Did I ever mention how much I love my buddy Jaffar? A stray cat got in the yard, and went after one of the younger chickens. He ran that stray off so fast (I didn’t know he could be so aggressive) I have never seen him chase anything that fast! Wonderful job Jaffar!!

Way to go Jaffar!

I like it that way. It's very good and much safer.

To me, “safer” is good!!!!

He has my respect!

These are my elder sisters chickens. They free range in her and her husbands back garden from morning to dusk. She has had roosters, but here they are not permitted. My sister has had chickens for twenty something years.
Given I'm quarantining at her home and not allowed to leave the house due to Covid restrictions and understandably missing the tribes I've posted so much about here on BYC who were my constant companions for the last ten years, I spend as much time as the weather permits in the garden with the four hens that live here.
Freya, the Swedish Flower hen in the first picture had been sick with an unspecified infection when I arrived and has just finished a course of treatment prescribed by the vet here.
The white hen (Chick) and the tan coloured hen (Mo) are relative new comers and arrived as pullets close to egg laying age.
This is Freya and Chick.

Another shot of Chick. She's the most junior and my favourite.

The more observant of you may notice that while my trousers may be the same as in every other picture I've posted (I have three identical pairs) the purple plastic shoes are a marked departure from my usual boots. Don't take the piss please. They are the preferred garden footwear here and not my choice of footwear.

Hey, I would never knock purple footwear!

Happy to be at the end of the day. Our ladies have been going to bed weirdly early. One day the weather wasn't great, but the other two days it has been sunny, I can only assume it is because Rosie is broody and she usually decides such things.

Staying out of her way!

Jaffar is such a good boy! I love that he is protective of the flock!
