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
their site and request one if you are interested.
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
Bruington Virginia * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best
selection at an online hatchery. * Both Bantams and full sized chickens

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
Bruington Virginia 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 Bruington,
Virginia Baby chicks are quite
adorable and also
difficult to stand up to,
however it's ideal to plan for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare first
by compiling not just the
appropriate materials, however
additionally the appropriate
understanding to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
basic, you just have to provide them with the following: A
clean and cozy
habitat Plenty of food and also water Attention as well as
love Environment Your environment could be an easy box, fish tank,
cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
coverings (without any loose
strings!) to start, as well as after a few weeks use straw over paper.
Note: Avoid utilizing just
newspaper or various other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You also need
something to dish out food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle jar
cover for food and also a family
pet bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Also, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
right into the environment to obtain them
trained on perching. Heat To
keep your chicks warm you need to
provide them with a warmth source.
This could be as easy as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style lamp from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally work extremely well (my
referral). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which can take up to two months). The freshly
hatched out require a temperature
in between 90 as well as 100 degrees,
and also each week this can
be lowered by
approximately 5 degrees approximately. The warmth resource need to be on simply one side of the cage
to allow chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermometer- if they are hiding in the
other edge of your warmth
light, you should
reduce the temperature level. If
they are smothering each other under the
heat (not merely cuddling),
you need to add some warmth.
House cleaning
Sanitation is vital and also it maintains your chicks healthy and
balanced. Make sure to change
the bedding
usually and also
constantly give tidy
food and water Food as well as water.
Chicks grow really fast
which calls for lots of tidy
food and also water. Give
enough at all times and examine
often to
stop dehydrated and also
starving chicks. Chick food is different compared
to grown-up chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
very first two months, after that
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
protein) for an additional 2 months,
then to a somewhat
lower healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks like to obtain a running start on taking
filth bathrooms, while others will not use up that activity until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
room, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to wash in.
Interest and also love There are a couple of advantages to spending time with your chicks. First of all, they will probably bond with you as well as
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
enjoy their actions, you can
catch ailment or various
other troubles previously. Keep an
eye out for hissing, limping, or
other undesirable
indicators. Be sure to
additionally look at
their poop, as looseness of the bowels can bring about matted feathers and also blocked cloaca.
Lastly, it is necessary to watch out for social issues, such as the
littlest chick getting picked
on. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently fully feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
safety of your home
as well as move outside right into a cage. Take a look at our
part on chicken cages to read more
concerning cages and
correct cage habitats.
