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!

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
Saint Peter 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

was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Saint Peter,
Illinois Baby chicks are extremely
adorable and
difficult to stand up to,
but it's finest to plan for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by compiling not just the
right products, yet
additionally the correct
understanding to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
basic, you simply should provide them with the following: A
clean and warm and comfortable
habitat Lots of food as well
as water Attention as well as
love Environment Your environment could be a
simple box, aquarium,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (without any loosened
strings!) to start, and also after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of just
paper or various other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand
misshapen. You additionally need
something to provide food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food and a pet bird water dispenser from a pet store. Also, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
into the environment to get them
educated on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks heat you should
offer them with a heat resource.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb likewise function very
well (my
referral). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which can take up to 2 months). The recently
hatched out require a temperature level
between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and each week this could
be minimized by
approximately 5 degrees or
so. The heat resource ought
to get on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermometer- if they are concealing in the
other edge of your warmth
light, you have to
decrease the temperature level. If
they are smothering each various other under the
warmth (not just cuddling),
you should put some warmth.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is essential as
well as it maintains your chicks healthy. Be sure to alter
the bed linen
typically as well as
consistently provide clean
food and also water Food and water.
Chicks expand really fast
which calls for plenty of clean
food and also water. Supply
sufficient at all times as well
as inspect
frequently to avoid parched and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is various compared
to adult chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
very first 2 months, after that
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
then to a somewhat
lower healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks prefer to obtain a running start on taking
dirt baths, while others will not use up that task till they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to wash in.
Focus and love There are a
few advantages to spending time with your chicks. To start
with, they will certainly most
likely bond with you and also
not run away as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily as well as
view their habits, you could
catch health problem or other problems earlier. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, limping, or
various other harmful
indicators. Make sure to
additionally look at
their poop, as diarrhea could bring about matted plumes as well
as stopped up cloaca.
Lastly, it is necessary to watch out for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick obtaining picked
on. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are now fully feathered
and also its time for them to leave the
security of your home
and also relocate outside right into a
coop. Take a look at our
part on chicken cages to get more information
regarding coops and
correct cage environments.
