Little Chip comes from a lineage of famous birds.
A world record breaking midlands chicken has passed away.
Banagher's Little Chip hit the record books for a clutch of 26 eggs that produced 21 chicks, she shortly followed that with another batch of 20.
The previous record holder was an American chicken with 20.
The Offaly hen was a chip off the old block so to say, her Mother was the famous Marmalade, who hatched five clutches in 12 months.
Her owner, the bereaved farmer John Dolan, says Little Chip, might have had a bit of a chip on her shoulder:
