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!

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds
and bantams. Bantams are fun hardy little chickens, they lay tiny eggs

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

Baby Chicks Needs in
Bouton, Iowa
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
Bouton Iowa 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 Bouton,
Iowa Baby chicks are really
cute as well as
hard to withstand,
however it's finest to plan for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first
by collecting not just the
proper products, but
also the appropriate
knowledge to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
basic, you merely should provide them with the following: A tidy and also warm
environment Lots of food and water Interest and also
love Habitat Your environment could be a
simple box, fish tank,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (without loosened
strings!) to start, and after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using only
newspaper or various other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could expand
malformed. You likewise require
something to dish out food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
meal from the feed store, or a pickle jar
lid for food as well as an animal bird water dispenser from a pet store. Also, as the chicks grow older you can introduce a perch
into the habitat to obtain them
trained on perching. Warmth 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 style lamp from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb additionally function extremely well (my
recommendation). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which could take up to 2 months). The newly
hatched require a temperature
in between 90 and 100 levels,
and each week this can
be lowered by
about 5 levels or
so. The heat resource need to be on just one side of the cage
to enable chicks an array of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
opposite edge of your warmth
light, you should
minimize the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not just cuddling),
you need to put some warmth.
Home cleaning
Sanitation is crucial and it maintains your chicks healthy. Be sure to alter
the bed linen
often as well as
always offer tidy
food as well as water Food as well as water.
Chicks grow extremely fast
which needs lots of tidy
food as well as water. Provide
enough at all times and also inspect
usually to prevent dehydrated as well as
starving chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, after that
switch over to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
lower healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Soil Some chicks like to get a head start on taking
dirt baths, while others will not take
up that activity until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
unit, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to bathe in.
Attention as well as love There are a couple of benefits to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will certainly probably bond with you and
not run away as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
enjoy their habits, you can
capture health problem or other troubles earlier. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
other undesirable
signs. Make certain to
additionally check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can cause matted feathers and also clogged up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
smallest chick getting badgered. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are now totally feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your residence
and relocate outside into a
coop. Look into our
part on chicken coops for more information
concerning coops as well as
appropriate coop environments.
