While admittedly there have been other new deaths of backyard chickens, I feel like this zine still represents most of them. I just added the digital edition to the Craft Leftovers Substack Archive here. Become a paid subscriber to unlock many zines & patterns for instant gratification downloading.
Taking a bit of a break, Volume 5 was meant to have another issue, and the second one is nearly done and I keep pulling it out and working on it from time to time. I think the big thing was I became a mom vs pregnant + started Little Wood Herbal which is now my primary income. More triathlons and art exhibits and murals. Will I ever finish that final issue? I would like to think so. You will be the first to know.

In this Issue
:: 7 Years in Passing
:: The Many Deaths of Backyard Chickens
:: Chicken Workers Ode to chickens past
:: Lessons Learned (about backyard chickens)
:: Word Find
:: Recipe: Baked Eggs
:: Lucy’s Bug Box
