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

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
Ralston 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 Ralston,
Pennsylvania Baby chicks are extremely
cute and also
tough to resist,
but it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by compiling not only the
appropriate materials, but
likewise the correct
expertise to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
easy, you merely should supply them with the following: A
clean and warm and comfortable
environment A lot of food and also water Interest and
love Environment Your environment can be a straightforward box, aquarium,
pet cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (without any loosened
strings!) to start, and also after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid using just
newspaper or various other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand
misshapen. You additionally need
something to serve up food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle jar
cover for food and also a family
pet bird water dispenser from a family pet store. Also, as the chicks age you could present a perch
into the environment to obtain them
trained on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks heat you should
provide them with a heat source.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb additionally work effectively (my
referral). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which can take up to 2 months). The newly
hatched require a temperature
between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and every week this could
be reduced by
about 5 levels or
so. The heat resource should get 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
opposite edge of your warmth
lamp, you need to
lower the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each other under the
heat (not merely snuggling),
you should put some heat.
House cleaning
Cleanliness is essential and it keeps your chicks healthy. Make certain to alter
the bedding
typically and
always give clean
food as well as water Food and water.
Chicks expand really fast
which requires plenty of tidy
food and water. Offer
sufficient at all times as well
as examine
typically to prevent parched and
hungry chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, and it comes
in both medicated and
also non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
very first two months, then
change to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
and after that to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to get a running start on taking
dust bathrooms, while others will not occupy that task up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
unit, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to shower in.
Attention and love There are a couple of benefits to spending quality time with your chicks. Firstly, they will most
likely bond with you and also
not flee as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily as well as
see their actions, you could
catch health problem or various
other troubles earlier. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
other unhealthy
indicators. Make certain to
likewise check out
their poop, as diarrhea could result in matted feathers as well
as obstructed cloaca.
Last but not least, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social issues, such as the
littlest chick getting badgered. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are now completely feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
security of your residence
and relocate outside right into a cage. Take a look at our
area on chicken coops for more information
concerning cages and
proper cage habitats.
