Meet the Honeymoon Hen™
The Smallest Member of Your Wedding Party
You've planned the flowers.
Picked the dress.

Now there's only one thing left to do.
Add a chicken.

Our Barnyard team brings a selected hen to your venue and professionally handles her throughout the experience so you can concentrate on getting the photos.

She's Even Better With Friends
Honeymoon Hen™ can be booked alongside select Barnyard wedding experiences.
Pair her with:
• Highland Cow Experience
• The Highland Pour™
• Beer Burro
• Pony Keg
• Barnyard Cocktail Hour

The result?
An entire wedding experience your guests definitely haven't seen at the last five weddings they attended.
Pair Her With a Highland
We probably don't need to explain why this makes good wedding photos.
A Highland cow gives you the show-stopping centerpiece.
Honeymoon Hen™ brings the personality.
Together, they create two completely different photo moments without turning your wedding into a traditional petting zoo.

For Wedding Photographers
We Have the Animals. You Have the Camera.
Photographers looking for something different for client sessions, styled shoots, content days, or wedding portraits can incorporate select Barnyard animals into professional photography sessions.
If you're planning multiple sessions or a styled content day, tell us what you have in mind.
We may be able to coordinate several Barnyard experiences around one photography event.
For Wedding Planners & Venues
Looking for the little details that make your client's wedding feel completely different?
That's where we come in.
The Barnyard works with wedding planners and venues throughout North Texas to provide professionally handled specialty animal experiences.
From Honeymoon Hen™ to Highlands, Beer Burros, Pony Kegs, and The Highland Pour™, our team can help build an animal experience around the wedding timeline instead of simply dropping an animal at the venue.
Professional Animal Handling
She's part of the wedding.
She's still a chicken.
A Barnyard team member remains responsible for the animal throughout the experience.
Before your event, we'll review relevant details including venue access, photography plans, event timeline, setup location, weather, and venue requirements.
Animal Welfare Comes First
Honeymoon Hen™ is designed around the animal—not at the animal's expense.
Every appearance is evaluated based on weather, transportation, event conditions, handling, duration, animal temperament, and appropriate rest.
Our handler supervises interaction and may modify the experience when necessary to protect the animal's wellbeing.
