Chicklet update! Gender guesses, anyone? They’re 3.5 weeks old now. Still working on names.

The brave little rocks crack me up. So tiny and full of sass. Definitely dark enough to be girls.



I think this is Floppy. S/he’s got the biggest comb of the three orpingtons but it’s not super noticeable. I have trouble telling them apart.

Different Orpington


Whitey. I thought a white EE was boring but boy was I wrong. The pure white against bright green legs is striking! This one is really growing on me, I will be dissapointed if it’s a roo but the red comb isn’t promising.

And lil craphead. This one still hates me. Still the only one I can’t touch and the only one who won’t perch on the doorframe to say hi. I really don’t like that its comb is less red than Whitey’s.

Never too early for nicknames! You can call me anything you like.

I don’t think I know Issues but I’ve heard Emarosa, not a whole lot though.
My favorite band is mewithoutyou if that wasn’t obvious already. Lately we’ve had DGD’s new album on nonstop but I also listen to a lot of Manchester orchestra, from Indian lakes, tiny moving parts, as cities burn, brand new, modern baseball... to name a few off the top of my head.
Hubby is into Pierce the Veil but I don’t listen to them as much.

ok, ok, no bueno...for me. (to poop on)

Okay cool! Just didn't want to offend or be awkward or anything haha

And wow we do have somewhat similar tastes

I listen to a lot of smaller/local bands too, not just local to here but like smaller touring bands I guess? Some of them are getting bigger now though

Like I love 7 Minutes In Heaven, Marina City, Sleep On It, etc. And also Set It Off, State Champs, Yellowcard, All Time Low, We The Kings, etc.

But I listen to like everything lol

It makes sense you've heard of Emarosa cause according to Wikipedia they've had a lot of history with DGD haha some of the same members and stuff. Pretty interesting. Click history and scroll to like the 2010 part.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emarosa

But they got the current vocalist in 2014 and I think he's better than Jonny Craig but I never really listened to them before so can't say for sure. The new vocalist is Bradley Walden and he's very talented imo. He was in a band called Squid The Whale before. Maybe give them another try

And Issues I haven't listened to much but they're good imo. Although they recently got rid of their screamer and there's some controversy there because he was in the band since they started it & did other projects together before and the controversy is like whether he left by choice/mutual agreement like they say or whether he was forced out because they wanted to change the sound cause in his statement he kinda said he did not leave. But idk. Doesn't really matter. I try not to get involved in drama LOL but live shows should be interesting now because that means Tyler will have to pick up the screaming? Or have backing tracks. They were always a dynamic duo. Oh well. I do wish I had seen them live before Michael left though. I had the chance at Warped a few years ago but I wasn't really into them then.

Anyway, I love this song by them and I also LOVE this cover. I admit I'm slightly obsessed with it...

And here's some good Emarosa ones from the newest album.

And here is a reimagined version of Helpless if you wanna cry LOL

And here is Bradley's old band.

And a cover they did.

https://youtu.be/HXWB5Y0qCck

It's good but I personally prefer this one.

https://youtu.be/fpez7uwqSac

And speaking of good covers:

https://youtu.be/A6P2QXBc9b8

https://youtu.be/NQSOoXg8dkw

And I like that Grayscale changed the message to be about positivity/self love if you watch the video.

And actually volume 6 of the Punk Goes Pop thing is loaded with great covers. there's a couple I don't like but most are good which is kinda rare with the PGP albuns hahah

But no I don't only listen to PGP lol

Looks like someone one fo you artists can add to your list of things to draw.

Whitey is the only one I am worried about
Those legs look really thick!

Stop listening to my music!

Stop listening to my music!

The first two were ok.
I had to stop looking them up after the third one.
I will continue again later.

Yikes that’s a lot of large combs and red Kiki curses us all! The BR pullets are almost cuckoo looking? Ours were much lighter. I can only find a baby pile picture but you can tell which they are. Your EE is certainly not looking like mine like we thought it would!

Speaking of cockerels, I listed my two boys today. I really don’t want to sell my New Hampshire but we just don’t need him if we are going to be doing the Australorp project.

Interesting! I will have to give some of those a go. I usually stick to a handful of bands and only branch out if Spotify suggests a random killer song haha.

Hopefully you'll like them or at least some.

Although I must admit that even though I claim to be eclectic/listen to everything sometimes I find myself listening to the same album or same few artists for weeks LOL or a lot of the pop punk or locals or whatever. Working on branching out. I do genuinely like most things but sometimes I also just don't get around to listening. Sometimes I follow bands on Twitter and/or see them live but either have never listened or barely or not in months but I'm a fan or even friends. and there's lots of albums I've beem meaning to listen to and know Id probably like but haven't gotten around to it yet even from 2 years ago LOL

I've been better about listening to new albums on time though lol

Oh ok. I misread. Yea, TMP is very emo/math rock, that doesn’t surprise me.
I’m curious what songs you’re listening to, some of those heavy bands have a couple very pretty “soft” songs.

Very true! Looks like it'd be fun to
