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!

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

variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best

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
Bloomington Illinois 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 Bloomington,
Illinois Baby chicks are really
charming and also
tough to resist,
however it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival before you obtain them. Prepare first
by gathering not just the
proper materials, however
also the appropriate
knowledge to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
straightforward, you merely need
to give them with the following: A
clean and also warm and comfortable
environment Lots of food and water Attention as well as
love Environment Your habitat can be a basic box, aquarium,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and also
coverings (without any loosened
strings!) to begin, and also after a
couple of weeks utilize straw over paper.
Note: Avoid utilizing only
newspaper or other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
malformed. You likewise need
something to serve up food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle jar
cover for food and an animal bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Likewise, as the chicks get
older you can introduce a perch
into the environment to get them
educated on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks warm you need to
supply them with a heat resource.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb likewise work very
well (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 till their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could take up to two months). The newly
hatched out need a temperature level
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
and each week this could
be minimized by
roughly 5 degrees approximately. The heat source need to be on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
contrary corner of your warmth
light, you have to
decrease the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not just snuggling),
you should add some heat.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is essential as
well as it maintains your chicks healthy. Make sure to change
the bedding
typically and
consistently give tidy
food and water Food and water.
Chicks expand quite quick
which calls for plenty of clean
food and water. Give
sufficient at all times and check
often to prevent thirsty and also
starving 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
very first two months, after that
change to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
and then to a slightly
lower protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to obtain a head start on taking
dust baths, while others will not take
up that task up until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
unit, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to shower in.
Interest as well as love There are a couple of benefits to spending time with your chicks. First off, they will certainly more than likely bond with you and
not escape as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
see their habits, you could
catch disease or other troubles earlier. Watch out for wheezing, limping, or
various other unhealthy
indicators. Be sure to
additionally take a look at
their poop, as diarrhea can bring about matted plumes and stopped up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to keep an eye out for social issues, such as the
smallest chick obtaining badgered. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are now totally feathery
and its time for them to leave the
security of your house
as well as move outside into a
coop. Have a look at our
part on chicken cages to learn more
concerning coops as well as
correct cage habitats.
