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!

Thumbing through a baby chickens for sale in Sparta Virginia
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
Sparta 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
available * You get to choose what sex you want. If you want a mixture of
both male and female then choosing a "straight run" will save you money
and you will get a mixture of male and female chicks. You can also choose
all males or all females too. * Weekly specials. Hatcheries have sales on
chicks, you are likely to get a good deal if you are flexible with the
breeds you are wanting. Cons of buying baby chicks in Sparta

are wanting a certain breed it's best to order your chicks in the fall
before their orders sell out.
Baby Chicks Buy in
Sparta, 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
Sparta 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 Sparta,
Virginia Baby chicks are very
charming as well as
tough to stand up to,
however it's best to plan for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare initially
by compiling not only the
correct materials, however
additionally the proper
understanding to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
simple, you merely need
to give them with the following: A
clean and warm and comfortable
habitat Plenty of food and also water Focus and also
love Habitat Your environment could be an easy box, aquarium,
cat carrier, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels as well as
blankets (with no loosened
strings!) to start, as well as after a few weeks make use of straw over newspaper.
Note: Avoid utilizing only
newspaper or various other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand
misshapen. You additionally need
something to serve up food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
recipe from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Also, as the chicks get
older you could present a perch
into the environment to obtain them
educated on perching. Warmth To
keep your chicks heat you should
supply them with a heat source.
This can be as basic as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp style light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
light bulb also work very
well (my
recommendation). Chicks need this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with plumes (which could use
up to two months). The recently
hatched need a temperature
between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and weekly this can
be minimized by
about 5 levels approximately. The heat source need to get on just one side of the cage
to enable chicks an array of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
contrary corner of your warmth
light, you need to
decrease the temperature level. If
they are smothering each other under the
warmth (not merely snuggling),
you need to include some heat.
Home cleaning
Tidiness is key and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Be sure to alter
the bed linens
commonly and also
consistently supply tidy
food and also water Food and water.
Chicks expand really quick
which needs plenty of tidy
food and also water. Offer
sufficient at all times and check
commonly to avoid thirsty as well as
starving chicks. Chick food is different than adult chicken food, and also it comes
in both medicated and non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
very first 2 months, then
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for one more 2 months,
then to a slightly
reduced protein feed or a level feed
(if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks want
to obtain a running start on taking
dirt baths, while others will not occupy that activity up until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to shower in.
Interest as well as love There are a couple of advantages to spending time with your chicks. First off, they will certainly probably bond with you as well as
not run away as grownups. Second, if you
examine your chicks daily and also
see their actions, you can
catch illness or various
other issues previously. Watch out for hissing, hopping, or
various other undesirable
indications. Make certain to
also take a look at
their poop, as diarrhea could cause matted feathers and clogged cloaca.
Last but not least, it is necessary to watch out for social issues, such as the
littlest chick getting teased. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are now fully feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety of your home
and also relocate outside into a
coop. Look into our
area on chicken coops to get more information
about coops and also
appropriate coop habitats.
