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
Martell Nebraska * 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

Baby Chicks Care in
Martell, Nebraska
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
Martell Nebraska 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 Martell,
Nebraska Baby chicks are very
charming and
challenging to stand up to,
yet it's best to plan for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first
by collecting not just the
proper materials, however
also the correct
understanding to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
simple, you just need
to offer them with the following: A tidy and warm
habitat Lots of food and also water Interest and
love Environment Your habitat could be an easy box, fish tank,
pet cat service provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (without any loose
strings!) to begin, and also after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid making use of only
paper or various other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could expand
misshapen. You additionally need
something to provide food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
meal from the feed store, or a pickle container
cover for food and also a pet bird water dispenser from an animal store. Also, as the chicks get
older you could present a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
educated on perching. Heat To
keep your chicks heat you have to
provide them with a warmth resource.
This could be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb also work very
well (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 till their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which can take up to 2 months). The recently
hatched out need a temperature
in between 90 as well as 100 degrees,
as well as every week this could
be reduced by
around 5 levels approximately. The heat source need to get on merely one side of the cage
to allow chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite edge of your heat
lamp, you need to
lower the temperature. If
they are surrounding each various other under the
heat (not just cuddling),
you should put some heat.
Home cleaning
Sanitation is essential as
well as it keeps your chicks healthy. Be sure to alter
the bed linens
commonly and also
consistently offer clean
food and water Food as well as water.
Chicks grow quite quickly
which requires a lot of tidy
food and water. Offer
sufficient whatsoever times and check
often to prevent thirsty as well as
hungry chicks. Chick food is various compared
to adult chicken food, and also it can be found in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial two months, then
switch over to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks prefer to get a running start on taking
filth baths, while others will not occupy that task till they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dirt for them to bathe in.
Attention and also love There are a
few benefits to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will more than likely bond with you as well as
not run away as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
see their actions, you can
capture ailment or various
other problems previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, limping, or
other harmful
indicators. Make sure to
likewise consider
their poop, as diarrhea could cause matted feathers as well
as obstructed cloaca.
Finally, it is very
important to watch out for social issues, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining teased. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are now completely feathered
and its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your home
as well as relocate outside right into a
coop. Take a look at our
section on chicken coops to read more
concerning coops and
appropriate cage environments.
