Two of our chickens were presented as gifts for a wedding.

I was reading some stories on here recently and one reminded me of an event in our chicken history.:
When our first daughter was getting married, I bought a bunch of lights and tulle to decorate the ceiling of the reception hall. Since then about everyone from our church has borrowed for their wedding receptions at our parish hall. One family when the parents came to our place to get the decorations, fell in love with our Columbian Wyandottes. They asked to buy one hen and one rooster and were going to dress the in a tux and white dress as a present for their daughter and son-in-law at their wedding. They're the white ones with black on their neck and tip of tail. The last picture is just a picture of the lights and tulle decorating the ceiling at our parish hall.

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the chickens at the wedding reception.

Poor chickens! Although I do admit that chickens make everything more festive!

Beautiful flock!

The bride and groom were going to raise chickens together after they were married so the parents decided to start their flock as a gift.

That's cute. Not sure they would want to be dressed up, though!

I love this idea of giving chickens to newlyweds--especially those gorgeous chickens! Thank you for that sweet story and the great wedding gift idea.

Aww, that is so sweet. I hope they enjoyed them!

I'm sure they did.

I couldn't imagine how they were going to dress them. They were pretty as they were. My guess is they probably were only able to add a bow tie to the roo and maybe a veil on the hen.
