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
Keswick Virginia * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best

Keswick, Virginia
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
Keswick 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 Keswick,
Virginia Baby chicks are quite
charming and also
difficult to stand up to,
but it's finest to plan for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare initially
by gathering not only the
proper products, yet
also the proper
understanding to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
straightforward, you just have to offer them with the following: A
clean as well as warm
habitat A lot of food and water Interest as well as
love Habitat Your habitat can be a basic box, aquarium,
feline service provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without any loosened
strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid using just
paper or various other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
malformed. You additionally need
something to dish out food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food as well as a pet dog bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Additionally, as the chicks grow older you can introduce a perch
into the habitat to get them
educated on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks heat you should
supply them with a warmth resource.
This could be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb additionally function very
well (my
recommendation). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which could take up to two months). The freshly
hatched need a temperature level
between 90 and 100 degrees,
and each week this could
be lowered by
about 5 degrees approximately. The heat source must be on simply one side of the cage
to allow chicks an array of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are hiding in the
other corner of your heat
lamp, you should
reduce the temperature level. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not simply cuddling),
you need to include some warmth.
Housekeeping
Sanitation is crucial and it keeps your chicks healthy. Make certain to transform
the bed linens
often as well as
constantly supply clean
food and water Food as well as water.
Chicks grow quite quick
which calls for a lot of tidy
food and water. Provide
enough at all times and also examine
frequently to prevent parched and
starving chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated and
also non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
initial two months, then
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for an additional 2 months,
and afterwards to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks want
to obtain a head start on taking
dust bathrooms, while others won't occupy that activity up until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
enclosure, present a tray of sand or
dust for them to wash in.
Interest as well as love There are a
few benefits to spending time with your chicks. First off, they will certainly probably bond with you and also
not escape as adults. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily as well as
view their habits, you could
capture disease or other troubles earlier. Watch out for hissing, hopping, or
other harmful
indicators. Make certain to
likewise consider
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted plumes as well
as obstructed cloaca.
Last but not least, it is important to look out
for social problems, such as the
littlest chick getting teased. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are now totally feathered
and its time for them to leave the
security of your residence
and relocate outside into a cage. Have a look at our
area on chicken cages to read more
regarding cages as well as
correct coop habitats.
