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
Benton Louisiana * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best
selection at an online hatchery. * Both Bantams and full sized chickens

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
Benton Louisiana 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 Benton,
Louisiana Baby chicks are extremely
adorable and also
hard to withstand,
but it's finest to prepare for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by gathering not just the
right materials, but
also the appropriate
knowledge to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
basic, you simply have to supply them with the following: A tidy and also cozy
environment A lot of food and also water Attention as well as
love Habitat Your habitat could be a
simple box, fish tank,
cat service provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (without loosened
strings!) to start, and after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid using just
newspaper or other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
malformed. You likewise require
something to serve up food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
lid for food as well as an animal bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Additionally, as the chicks age you can present a perch
into the habitat to get them
trained on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you have to
provide them with a heat source.
This could be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb also function very
well (my
recommendation). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which could occupy to 2 months). The freshly
hatched out need a temperature
in between 90 and 100 levels,
and also each week this could
be minimized by
around 5 levels approximately. The heat resource should be on merely one side of the cage
to permit chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
other edge of your warmth
lamp, you have to
minimize the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each various other under the
warmth (not just cuddling),
you should put some warmth.
House cleaning
Cleanliness is key as
well as it keeps your chicks healthy. Make sure to change
the bed linens
frequently and
constantly offer tidy
food as well as water Food and also water.
Chicks grow quite quick
which needs a lot of tidy
food and also water. Provide
enough at all times as well
as check
commonly to
stop parched and
starving chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated and non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
first two months, after that
switch over to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
then to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks prefer to obtain a running start on taking
dirt baths, while others will not take
up that task until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
enclosure, present a tray of sand or
dirt for them to bathe in.
Attention and love There are a
few benefits to hanging
out with your chicks. Firstly, they will more than likely bond with you as well as
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
view their behavior, you could
capture ailment or various
other issues previously. Watch out for wheezing, hopping, or
various other unhealthy
signs. Be sure to
likewise check out
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can bring about matted feathers as well
as obstructed cloaca.
Lastly, it is very
important to look out
for social issues, such as the
smallest chick getting picked
on. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are now completely feathered
and its time for them to leave the
safety of your residence
as well as relocate outside right into a cage. Look into our
area on chicken coops to learn more
regarding cages and also
appropriate coop environments.
