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

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

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
Edgecomb Maine 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 Edgecomb,
Maine Baby chicks are extremely
cute as well as
hard to withstand,
yet it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not just the
appropriate materials, but
also the proper
understanding to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
basic, you just need
to give them with the following: A
clean and warm
habitat A lot of food as well
as water Focus and
love Environment Your habitat could be a straightforward box, aquarium,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without loose
strings!) to begin, and after a
couple of weeks utilize straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using just
paper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could expand
misshapen. You likewise need
something to serve up food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food as well as a pet bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Additionally, as the chicks get
older you could present a perch
into the habitat to obtain them
educated on perching. Heat To
maintain your chicks heat you should
offer them with a heat source.
This can be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb likewise work very
well (my
referral). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could occupy to 2 months). The newly
hatched out need a temperature
in between 90 as well as 100 degrees,
and also weekly this could
be lowered by
approximately 5 levels or
so. The warmth source need to get on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks an array of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermometer- if they are concealing in the
opposite edge of your heat
lamp, you have to
lower the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
heat (not merely snuggling),
you should put some warmth.
House cleaning
Tidiness is key and also it maintains your chicks healthy. Make sure to transform
the bedding
often and also
constantly provide clean
food and also water Food and also water.
Chicks grow quite quickly
which calls for lots of tidy
food and also water. Give
enough at all times as well
as examine
often to avoid thirsty as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is various compared
to adult chicken food, and it can be found in both medicated and non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the
very first two months, then
change to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to obtain a head start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others will not use 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 bathe in.
Interest and also love There are a
few benefits to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will most
likely bond with you as well as
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
view their habits, you can
catch disease or various
other problems previously. Watch out for wheezing, hopping, or
various other undesirable
indicators. Make sure to
additionally consider
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can cause matted plumes as well
as obstructed cloaca.
Finally, it is important to look out
for social concerns, such as the
tiniest chick getting picked
on. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are now totally feathery
and its time for them to leave the
security of your residence
and also relocate outside right into a
coop. Take a look at our
area on chicken coops for more information
concerning cages and
appropriate cage environments.
