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
Franklin 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 Franklin,
Illinois Baby chicks are very
charming as well as
hard to resist,
however it's ideal to plan for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare first
by gathering not only the
appropriate products, but
likewise the proper
knowledge to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
basic, you just need
to provide them with the following: A tidy as well as warm and comfortable
environment Lots of food and also water Focus and also
love Environment Your habitat can be a basic box, fish tank,
cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and also
blankets (with no loosened
strings!) to start, and also after a few weeks use straw over paper.
Note: Avoid utilizing only
newspaper or various other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand
malformed. You also need
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food as well as a family
pet bird water dispenser from a pet shop. Likewise, as the chicks get
older you can introduce a perch
into the habitat to get them
trained on perching. Heat To
keep your chicks heat you should
give them with a heat resource.
This can be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb additionally work effectively (my
recommendation). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which can use
up to two months). The newly
hatched need a temperature
in between 90 and 100 levels,
and also weekly this can
be reduced by
roughly 5 degrees approximately. The warmth source ought
to be on merely one side of the cage
to allow chicks an array of
temperature levels. The chicks are your ideal
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
opposite edge of your warmth
lamp, you need to
minimize the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not just curling up),
you have to include some warmth.
Home cleaning
Cleanliness is key as
well as it keeps your chicks healthy. Be sure to change
the bed linens
usually as well as
consistently give clean
food and water Food and water.
Chicks grow very quick
which needs plenty of tidy
food and also water. Supply
enough whatsoever times as well
as check
often to
stop thirsty as well as
starving chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, as well as it can be found in both medicated and
also non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
first two months, after that
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
and after that to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks prefer to get a head start on taking
dust bathrooms, while others won't take
up that activity till they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
unit, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to wash in.
Focus and love There are a
few benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. Firstly, they will certainly most
likely bond with you and
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
see their actions, you can
catch illness or various
other issues earlier. Keep an
eye out for hissing, hopping, or
other undesirable
indicators. Make certain to
additionally look at
their poop, as diarrhea could bring about matted feathers and also clogged up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
tiniest chick getting teased. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently fully feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
safety of your home
and also relocate outside into a cage. Take a look at our
area on chicken coops to read more
about coops and
correct coop environments.
