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
Gilford New Hampshire * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best

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
Gilford New Hampshire 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 Gilford,
New Hampshire Baby chicks are extremely
adorable and also
challenging to stand up to,
but it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare first
by compiling not only the
proper products, however
likewise the proper
understanding to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
easy, you just have to supply them with the following: A tidy and also cozy
environment Plenty of food and also water Attention and also
love Environment Your habitat can be a straightforward box, aquarium,
feline provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (with no loosened
strings!) to begin, and also after a few weeks utilize straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid making use of just
paper or various other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You also require
something to serve up food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
meal from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food and also a pet bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Also, as the chicks grow older you can present a perch
right into the habitat to get them
educated on perching. Warmth To
keep your chicks heat you need to
supply them with a heat source.
This could be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb also function extremely well (my
recommendation). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which can use
up to 2 months). The recently
hatched out require a temperature level
in between 90 as well as 100 degrees,
as well as every week this can
be decreased by
approximately 5 levels approximately. The warmth resource need to get on simply one side of the cage
to enable chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite corner of your heat
light, you have to
minimize the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
heat (not simply cuddling),
you need to add some heat.
Home cleaning
Cleanliness is key and also it maintains your chicks healthy. Be sure to transform
the bed linens
typically as well as
consistently offer clean
food and water Food and water.
Chicks grow extremely quick
which calls for plenty of tidy
food and also water. Supply
sufficient whatsoever times and also examine
typically to avoid thirsty and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is different than adult chicken food, as well as it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
initial two months, then
switch over to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
lower protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks prefer to get a running start on taking
filth baths, while others will not use up that task until they are
older. If you have the room in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to wash in.
Focus and love There are a couple of advantages to spending quality time with your chicks. To start
with, they will most
likely bond with you and also
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
watch their habits, you could
capture disease or other issues earlier. Watch out for hissing, hopping, or
various other harmful
indicators. Make certain to
also take a look at
their poop, as diarrhea can result in matted feathers as well
as blocked cloaca.
Finally, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick getting teased. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently totally feathery
and its time for them to leave the
security of your residence
and also move outside into a cage. Take a look at our
section on chicken cages to read more
concerning coops and
correct cage environments.
