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!

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds
and bantams. Bantams are fun hardy little chickens, they lay tiny eggs

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

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
Cleo Springs Oklahoma 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 Cleo Springs,
Oklahoma Baby chicks are quite
cute and also
difficult to stand up to,
but it's ideal to plan for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by collecting not just the
appropriate products, however
likewise the correct
knowledge to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
basic, you simply need
to give them with the following: A tidy and also warm and comfortable
habitat Lots of food and also water Attention and
love Environment Your habitat can be a basic box, aquarium,
feline provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (without loosened
strings!) to begin, and also after a few weeks use straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using only
paper or other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You likewise need
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
dish from the feed store, or a pickle container
cover for food and a family
pet bird water dispenser from a pet shop. Likewise, as the chicks get
older you can introduce a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
educated on setting down. Warmth To
maintain your chicks heat you need to
supply them with a warmth resource.
This can be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from an equipment shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb additionally work very
well (my
recommendation). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which could take up to two months). The recently
hatched need a temperature level
in between 90 and 100 levels,
and also weekly this can
be lowered by
about 5 degrees or
so. The heat source need to be on simply one side of the cage
to enable chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your ideal
thermometer- if they are concealing in the
other edge of your heat
lamp, you have to
lower the temperature level. If
they are smothering each various other under the
warmth (not simply snuggling),
you need to add some heat.
Home cleaning
Cleanliness is crucial and it maintains your chicks healthy. Make sure to transform
the bedding
often and also
always offer tidy
food as well as water Food as well as water.
Chicks expand extremely quickly
which needs plenty of tidy
food as well as water. Offer
sufficient whatsoever times and also check
often to avoid thirsty and
starving chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, and it is available in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial two months, after that
change to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
and after that to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to get a head start on taking
dirt baths, while others won't use up that activity until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
unit, present a tray of sand or
dirt for them to shower in.
Attention and also love There are a
few advantages to hanging
out with your chicks. First of all, they will probably bond with you as well as
not run away as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
watch their actions, you could
capture illness or various
other issues previously. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
various other unhealthy
signs. Make sure to
likewise look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels could cause matted plumes and obstructed cloaca.
Lastly, it is very
important to look out
for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining teased. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently fully feathery
and its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your home
and also move outside right into a
coop. Have a look at our
section on chicken coops to learn more
regarding cages and
proper cage environments.
