Billina is a 1 year old Splash Cochin bantam. We got our little cochin bantam hen along with her sister and brother at the pet store. She likes to scratch in the dirt, ride on my husband's shoulder, come for a visit into the house, sit on eggs, and hatch little baby chicks.
I think hatching chicks is her favorite thing to do. You can see by her picture that she is very proud of her babies and all their names are Dorothy, just like in the Wizard of Oz.
She hatched a bunch of cochin chicks first, and just lately she hatched a batch of aricaunas. They are so funny, as they are so big they can't fit under her wings, so they have to peek out.

They are so darling! I love chickens!
I was so happy when I saw the name Billina. She was one of my favorite characters and from my favorite Oz book. And all the babies named Dorothy too!
She is lovely and obviously a good mother.
Yes, I do love our chickens. Another mille fleur hen hatched some babies and keeps walking over the little ones and killing them. She is not a good mother like Billina and Biddy. Our cochin banties are the best mamas. They can hatch them and tend them very well.
