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
West Farmington Maine * 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

and you will get a mixture of male and female chicks. You can also choose
all males or all females too. * Weekly specials. Hatcheries have sales on

West Farmington, Maine
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
West Farmington 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 West Farmington,
Maine Baby chicks are extremely
adorable as well as
hard to resist,
yet it's finest to plan for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare initially
by collecting not just the
appropriate products, yet
likewise the proper
understanding to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
easy, you merely need
to offer them with the following: A tidy as well as warm
environment A lot of food and water Attention and
love Habitat Your habitat can be a
simple box, fish tank,
pet cat provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (without any loose
strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid utilizing only
paper or various other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
misshapen. You additionally require
something to serve up food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle container
lid for food and a pet dog bird water dispenser from an animal shop. Additionally, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
right into the habitat to get them
educated on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks heat you have to
provide them with a heat resource.
This could be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb also work effectively (my
referral). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 till their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could occupy to 2 months). The newly
hatched out need a temperature level
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
as well as every week this could
be reduced by
about 5 degrees or
so. The heat resource ought
to get on merely one side of the cage
to permit chicks an array of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
other corner of your heat
lamp, you need to
minimize the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not merely snuggling),
you need to include some heat.
Housekeeping
Sanitation is crucial as
well as it maintains your chicks healthy. Make sure to transform
the bedding
typically and
constantly provide clean
food as well as water Food and water.
Chicks grow really quickly
which calls for a lot of clean
food and also water. Offer
sufficient whatsoever times and examine
commonly to prevent thirsty as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, as well as it can be found in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
very first two months, after that
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for an additional 2 months,
and after that to a slightly
lower healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks prefer to obtain a head start on taking
dust bathrooms, while others won't use up that activity till they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
unit, present a tray of sand or
dirt for them to shower in.
Interest as well as love There are a
few benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. Firstly, they will certainly most
likely bond with you and
not escape as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
enjoy their behavior, you can
capture health problem or other problems previously. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, hopping, or
other undesirable
indicators. Make certain to
also look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can lead
to matted plumes and obstructed cloaca.
Finally, it is necessary to look out
for social issues, such as the
littlest chick obtaining picked
on. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently totally feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
security of your home
as well as relocate outside right into a cage. Have a look at our
area on chicken coops to read more
regarding coops as well as
proper coop habitats.
