We feature a budding poultry star who is just seven years old
Freya Graham is becoming quite a star of the poultry world… at the age of just seven. The young chicken fancier has scooped top awards at shows, established her own little business and even imported some rare breeds from Holland!
Freya’s parents, Kris and Toni, run Graham’s Pure Breed Poultry from their farm at Chorley in Lancashire.
It all started in 2015 when Kris bought some ducks and chickens at an auction. Freya started taking a keen interest as well and was given some Silkie growers by a local breeder.
“The breeder encouraged us to join a local poultry club and recommended Southport & Ormskirk Bantam Society,” said Toni. “Freya entered her first ever poultry show – and took first and second prizes. All afternoon she stood proudly by their pen to tell passers by that these were her birds.”
