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
Maryville Illinois * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
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
Maryville 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 Maryville,
Illinois Baby chicks are very
cute and
hard to resist,
yet it's finest to prepare for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by collecting not just the
appropriate products, but
also the proper
understanding to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
straightforward, you just have to give them with the following: A tidy and warm
habitat Plenty of food as well
as water Attention as well as
love Environment Your habitat could be a straightforward box, aquarium,
cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without any loosened
strings!) to begin, and also after a
couple of weeks use straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid utilizing just
newspaper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You also need
something to dish out food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle container
lid for food and also a pet dog bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Likewise, as the chicks age you can introduce a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
trained on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you need to
offer them with a heat source.
This can be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally work effectively (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which can use
up to 2 months). The recently
hatched need a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and each week this can
be decreased by
around 5 degrees approximately. The warmth resource must get on simply one side of the cage
to enable chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your finest
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
opposite corner of your warmth
lamp, you have to
reduce the temperature level. If
they are smothering each various other under the
warmth (not just snuggling),
you have to add some heat.
House cleaning
Sanitation is vital and it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make certain to change
the bed linen
usually and also
consistently provide clean
food and water Food as well as water.
Chicks grow very quick
which calls for lots of tidy
food and also water. Provide
enough at all times and also examine
frequently to avoid parched and
starving chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated as well as non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, then
change to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for one more 2 months,
then to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks like to get a head start on taking
filth bathrooms, while others won't use up that activity till they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
unit, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to wash in.
Interest as well as love There are a couple of advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. First off, they will probably bond with you and also
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily as well as
watch their actions, you could
catch ailment or other troubles previously. Watch out for wheezing, limping, or
various other harmful
indications. Be sure to
likewise take a look at
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted plumes and clogged up cloaca.
Lastly, it is essential to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick getting badgered. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are now fully feathery
and its time for them to leave the
safety of your house
and also move outside into a cage. Have a look at our
part on chicken cages to read more
concerning cages and also
correct cage habitats.
