Billina was originally named Bill because, as a chick, no one could tell whether she was going to be a hen or a rooster. She was raised on an American farm in Kansas by an elderly woman and her husband. Later, Billina hatched many chicks (their father unknown). She named all of them Dorothy after her young friend and had gold lockets engraved with the letter "D" for each of them. When some of the chicks turned out to be "horrid roosters" she renamed them Daniel.

| - Billina was originally named Bill because, as a chick, no one could tell whether she was going to be a hen or a rooster. She was raised on an American farm in Kansas by an elderly woman and her husband. During a voyage to Australia, Bill was traveling in a chicken coop that was blown overboard during a storm. Though all the other chickens drowned, Bill survived along with a girl named Dorothy Gale. As they approached the shores of the Land of Ev, Bill found herself able to talk. Upon finding out that HE was a SHE, Dorothy promptly changed Bill's name to a feminine form by adding an "eena" sound to the end. Billina and Dorothy visited Evna, the capital city of Ev, and joined a party from the Land of Oz who were traveling to the Nome Kingdom to rescue the Royal Family of Ev. The Nome King deceived the rescue party, but Billina was able to solve the Nome King's puzzle, thanks to her overhearing his discussion with Kaliko, his Chief Steward. She also provided the eggs which the Scarecrow used to defeat the Nomes, eggs being poison to them. After that adventure Billina settled in the Emerald City where she generally wears the pearl necklace she received from King Evardo of Ev. Later, Billina hatched many chicks (their father unknown). She named all of them Dorothy after her young friend and had gold lockets engraved with the letter "D" for each of them. When some of the chicks turned out to be "horrid roosters" she renamed them Daniel.

She is a very brave, practical and loving hen who is a real humble friend to all those who know her, rather it be in Kansas or Oz. Billina takes pride in laying a fresh egg every morning, after which she enjoys a morning cackle. She never cares to hatch them unless she has a nice nest with a baker's dozen of them. Her hen house is in the gardens behind Emerald City's Royal Palace of Oz. It has a porch, and she keeps the house as neat as a pin. All the chairs inside are silver roosting poles. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren all live in the yards nearby, and she is acknowledged as Queen and Governor of all the chickens in Oz.
