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

Baby Chickens How To Raise in
Las Vegas, New Mexico
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
Las Vegas New Mexico 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 Las Vegas,
New Mexico Baby chicks are really
cute and also
hard to resist,
but it's finest to plan for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by gathering not just the
appropriate products, yet
also the correct
understanding to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
simple, you just should offer them with the following: A
clean and cozy
habitat Plenty of food and also water Focus as well as
love Habitat Your habitat can be a basic box, aquarium,
pet cat service provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and
coverings (without any loose
strings!) to start, as well as after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Note: Avoid using just
newspaper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
malformed. You likewise require
something to dish out food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
lid for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Also, as the chicks get
older you could present a perch
right into the habitat to obtain them
trained on perching. Heat To
keep your chicks heat you have to
offer them with a warmth resource.
This could be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb also function extremely well (my
recommendation). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which could use
up to two months). The newly
hatched need a temperature level
in between 90 and 100 degrees,
and also every week this could
be minimized by
roughly 5 levels approximately. The warmth resource ought
to be on just one side of the cage
to enable chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
opposite corner of your warmth
lamp, you need to
minimize the temperature. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not simply snuggling),
you need to include some heat.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is vital and it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to alter
the bed linens
often and
constantly provide tidy
food and water Food as well as water.
Chicks expand very fast
which needs a lot of clean
food as well as water. Offer
enough at all times and inspect
typically to
stop parched and also
starving chicks. Chick food is different compared
to adult chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, then
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for one more 2 months,
then to a slightly
lower healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Soil Some chicks want
to get a running start on taking
dust bathrooms, while others won't use up that activity up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
room, present a tray of sand or
filth for them to bathe in.
Attention and love There are a
few benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. First of all, they will more than likely bond with you as well as
not escape as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily as well as
watch their actions, you can
capture health problem or other problems earlier. Watch out for hissing, hopping, or
various other harmful
signs. Be sure to
likewise consider
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can bring about matted feathers and clogged up cloaca.
Lastly, it is important to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick obtaining picked
on. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are now completely feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
as well as move outside into a
coop. Have a look at our
section on chicken cages to read more
regarding coops and
correct cage habitats.
