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
Comstock Texas * 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
Comstock Texas 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 Comstock,
Texas Baby chicks are really
charming as well as
challenging to stand up to,
yet it's finest to plan for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare first
by compiling not just the
appropriate materials, yet
likewise the proper
understanding to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
simple, you just need
to provide them with the following: A
clean as well as cozy
environment A lot of food as well
as water Focus as well as
love Habitat Your habitat can be a
simple box, aquarium,
pet cat service provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (with no loosened
strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks use straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid using just
newspaper or various other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can grow
malformed. You also need
something to dish out food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed store, or a pickle container
lid for food and a family
pet bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Also, as the chicks grow older you can present a perch
right into the habitat to get them
trained on setting down. Warmth To
keep your chicks heat you need to
supply them with a warmth source.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb likewise work extremely well (my
referral). Chicks require this
heat 24/7 till their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which could occupy to two months). The recently
hatched require a temperature
in between 90 and 100 degrees,
and every week this can
be decreased by
approximately 5 degrees approximately. The heat resource ought
to get on just one side of the cage
to enable chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your best
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
opposite corner of your warmth
lamp, you need to
minimize the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not just snuggling),
you have to put some warmth.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is key and also it maintains your chicks healthy. Be sure to transform
the bedding
typically as well as
constantly provide clean
food and water Food and water.
Chicks grow really quickly
which calls for plenty of clean
food and also water. Give
enough at all times and check
often to avoid thirsty as well as
starving chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, as well as it is available in both medicated and
also non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
initial 2 months, after that
change to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
and then to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks like to get a running start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others will not use up that task until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
unit, present a tray of sand or
dirt for them to wash in.
Focus and love There are a couple of advantages to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will probably bond with you and
not escape as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
see their actions, you can
capture disease or other issues previously. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
other unhealthy
signs. Be sure to
likewise take a look at
their poop, as diarrhea could lead
to matted plumes and blocked cloaca.
Finally, it is necessary to keep an eye out for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining badgered. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently fully feathered
as well as its time for them to leave the
security of your house
and move outside right into a
coop. Check out our
section on chicken coops to find out
more
about cages and also
appropriate cage habitats.
