Baby Chicks in a Nest Donuts
| , ,
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

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
Mercersburg Pennsylvania 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 Mercersburg,
Pennsylvania Baby chicks are quite
charming and
tough to resist,
yet it's best to plan for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare initially
by gathering not only the
correct materials, but
likewise the correct
expertise to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
simple, you merely have to supply them with the following: A tidy as well as warm
habitat A lot of food and also water Interest and also
love Environment Your habitat could be a
simple box, aquarium,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (without loose
strings!) to start, and also after a
couple of weeks utilize straw over newspaper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing just
paper or other slipper
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand
misshapen. You also require
something to serve up food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle jar
cover for food and an animal bird water dispenser from an animal store. Likewise, as the chicks grow older you could introduce a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
trained on perching. Heat To
keep your chicks warm you have to
provide them with a warmth resource.
This can be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb likewise function very
well (my
suggestion). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 till their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which can use
up to two months). The recently
hatched out need a temperature level
between 90 and also 100 levels,
and each week this could
be decreased by
about 5 degrees approximately. The warmth source must get on merely one side of the cage
to allow chicks a variety of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
opposite corner of your heat
light, you have to
decrease the temperature. If
they are surrounding each other under the
warmth (not just cuddling),
you need to include some warmth.
House cleaning
Tidiness is key and also it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to alter
the bedding
often as well as
always give tidy
food as well as water Food and also water.
Chicks expand really fast
which needs a lot of clean
food and water. Provide
enough at all times as well
as check
usually to prevent thirsty and
starving chicks. Chick food is various than adult chicken food, and it comes
in both medicated as well as non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
first two months, then
change to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for one more 2 months,
and afterwards to a slightly
lower healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to obtain a head start on taking
filth baths, while others won't use up that task until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
unit, present a tray of sand or
filth for them to wash in.
Focus and also love There are a
few benefits to hanging
out with your chicks. First of all, they will certainly more than likely bond with you and
not run away as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and
see their actions, you could
capture disease or other troubles earlier. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, limping, or
other harmful
signs. Be sure to
also take a look at
their poop, as diarrhea could cause matted plumes and clogged up cloaca.
Finally, it is essential to watch out for social concerns, such as the
smallest chick obtaining picked
on. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are now fully feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
as well as move outside right into a
coop. Have a look at our
section on chicken cages to get more information
about coops as well as
appropriate cage environments.
