Spring time is coming! It is the time for baby chicks, bunnies and flowers. I have some of all of those things on the blog. Many in dessert form ;). Including these baby chicks in a nest donuts. I really love this time of year and I am having a blast getting ready for Easter. Luckily these little donuts are so easy to whip up for Easter or spring parties. Tweet, tweet the baby chicks are ready to party. I almost feel bad eating these little cuties because they are so adorable. Almost but they are also tasty!
what you need to make them:
mini chocolate donuts(store bought or home made)
yellow M&Ms(I used the light yellow Easter ones)
orange or pink heart sprinkles
black food writing pen
frosting or melted chocolate
Add a little bit of frosting or melted chocolate to the top of the donuts. I had frosting on hand so I used that but melted chocolate might be easier. Take a yellow M&M, put a dab of frosting or chocolate towards the bottom middle.
Take a black food writer and draw two half circles facing down for the eyes. You could also just put two dots for the eyes. Then put the M&Ms on the donuts.
Aren’t they just the cutest?! I just know everyone, especially the kids, will love these cuties for Easter!

Thumbing through a baby chickens for sale in Dover Arkansas
catalog is a yearly traditions in many houses. My kids and I eagerly await
the Murray McMurray Hatchery catalog. We love looking at all the cool and
different chicken breeds available. Catalogs are free so head on over to
their site and request one if you are interested.
Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds
and bantams. Bantams are fun hardy little chickens, they lay tiny eggs
that kids especially love collecting. Bantams typically weigh less than 2
pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros
and cons to ordering baby chicks online. Pros of buying baby chicks in
Dover Arkansas * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best
selection at an online hatchery. * Both Bantams and full sized chickens
available * You get to choose what sex you want. If you want a mixture of
both male and female then choosing a "straight run" will save you money
and you will get a mixture of male and female chicks. You can also choose
all males or all females too. * Weekly specials. Hatcheries have sales on
chicks, you are likely to get a good deal if you are flexible with the
breeds you are wanting. Cons of buying baby chicks in Dover

before their orders sell out.

Quantity - you must order a certain number of chicks. Typically hatcheries
will require you buy a minimum of 25 chicks at a time. The number is
necessary for the chicks survival during shipping. All 25 chicks are put
in one small box without heat. They are crowded in the box and produce
enough body heat to arrive in good shape. * The wait - If you choose to
buy chicks from a feed store you will have them the same day but if you
choose to go with a hatchery you have to wait until they are ready to ship
and then wait for the chicks to arrive. Ordering baby chicks online in
Dover Arkansas is easy and has always been a very pleasant
experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks
but it's so worth the wait. When the post office calls and you hear all
those little "cheeps" or "chirps" in the background you'll know the wait
was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Dover,
Arkansas Baby chicks are very
charming and
hard to withstand,
yet it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare initially
by compiling not just the
correct products, but
also the proper
expertise to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
easy, you merely need
to provide them with the following: A tidy as well as warm and comfortable
habitat A lot of food and also water Focus and also
love Environment Your habitat can be a basic box, fish tank,
feline carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (with no loose
strings!) to begin, and also after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid making use of only
newspaper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
misshapen. You also require
something to serve up food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
meal from the feed store, or a pickle container
lid for food as well as an animal bird water dispenser from an animal shop. Likewise, as the chicks age you can introduce a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
trained on perching. Heat To
keep your chicks warm you need to
provide them with a warmth resource.
This could be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb additionally work very
well (my
referral). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which can take up to 2 months). The newly
hatched out require a temperature level
in between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and also weekly this can
be lowered by
around 5 degrees or
so. The heat resource should get on just one side of the cage
to permit chicks an array of
temperature levels. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite corner of your warmth
lamp, you should
reduce the temperature level. If
they are smothering each other under the
warmth (not just cuddling),
you should include some heat.
House cleaning
Sanitation is vital as
well as it maintains your chicks healthy. Make sure to transform
the bed linen
commonly and also
always offer clean
food and water Food and water.
Chicks grow really quick
which requires a lot of clean
food as well as water. Offer
sufficient whatsoever times and inspect
frequently to prevent thirsty and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, as well as it can be found in both medicated and non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
first two months, then
change to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
and then to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks want
to obtain a head start on taking
dust baths, while others won't occupy that task till they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
unit, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to wash in.
Attention and also love There are a couple of advantages to spending time with your chicks. To start
with, they will more than likely bond with you as well as
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
watch their actions, you can
catch illness or other troubles previously. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
other undesirable
indicators. Make certain to
additionally consider
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can cause matted feathers and also clogged cloaca.
Last but not least, it is very
important to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining badgered. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
and its time for them to leave the
security of your home
and relocate outside right into a cage. Check out our
area on chicken cages to find out
more
concerning cages as well as
correct cage habitats.
