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
Franklin Massachusetts * 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

both male and female then choosing a "straight run" will save you money
and you will get a mixture of male and female chicks. You can also choose

Franklin, Massachusetts
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
Franklin Massachusetts 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 Franklin,
Massachusetts Baby chicks are very
adorable and
challenging to resist,
yet it's best to plan for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first
by collecting not only the
appropriate products, yet
also the correct
knowledge to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
simple, you merely should give them with the following: A tidy and warm and comfortable
environment Plenty of food as well
as water Interest and
love Habitat Your environment can be an easy box, aquarium,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (without any loose
strings!) to start, as well as after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using only
paper or various other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can grow
malformed. You likewise require
something to dish out food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food and a pet bird water dispenser from a pet shop. Also, as the chicks grow older you could present a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
educated on perching. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you have to
provide them with a heat source.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb also work extremely well (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
warmth 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 minimized by
roughly 5 levels or
so. The warmth source need to be on just one side of the cage
to enable chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
opposite corner of your warmth
light, you should
lower the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not simply snuggling),
you should put some warmth.
Housekeeping
Sanitation is crucial and it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make certain to change
the bed linens
usually as well as
constantly offer clean
food and also water Food and also water.
Chicks expand extremely quick
which requires plenty of clean
food and also water. Give
enough at all times and inspect
often to
stop dehydrated and
starving chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, and it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, after that
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
and after that to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Soil Some chicks like to obtain a head start on taking
dust baths, while others will not take
up that activity up until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
room, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to bathe in.
Focus and love There are a couple of advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. First off, they will more than likely bond with you and
not flee as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
see their behavior, you could
capture health problem or various
other problems previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, limping, or
various other undesirable
indicators. Make certain to
also take a look at
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted plumes and clogged up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social issues, such as the
littlest chick obtaining teased. 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 into a
coop. Check out our
area on chicken coops for more information
concerning coops and also
proper coop environments.
