Compared to my EEs, she is horrid. All my EEs are so polite, and nice, and she just goes and steals their food!

CreamPuff
CreamPuff is a very heavy, large, BO hen. She's my ugly girl. ❤

Marshmallow (Marshy)
Marshy is the perfect Buff Orpington. She might even be show quality! (Maybe.) She is perfect size, not ugly, and has a wonderful personality. Friendly, docile, calm, etc.

Kiwi (R.I.P)
Kiwi was a wonderful girl! A little small for a Buff Orpington, she had a great personality and was my best egg layer. I'll always miss you Kiwi!

Buff Orps do eat a lot!

Where do you all get your perfect BOs? Mine screams bloody murder whenever I do so much as move their feeder, she doesn’t let me even get close to picking her up without flipping out, and she is a PIG. And a JERK. And a MEANIE. The opposite of calm, the opposite of docile, and the opposite of friendly.

Please answer these questions and maybe I can help you.

Where did you get her from?
How old was she when you got her?
How old is she now?
Did you handle her while she was growing up?
If so, how much?

I got her from a feed store.
She was a day old when I got her.
Now she is 20 weeks old. She has been a pig for her entire life, including as a chick. If anything it got better when she turned 18 weeks old.
I held her everyday, carried her around my house, and hand fed her. She got probably the most attention out of all of them, which now that I think about might’ve made her spoiled.

You have a rare Buff Orpington then. You did everything right about handling! I also got my BO's from the feed store.

I think she is actually just half pig, and half chicken. She even dust bathes in literal mud. Not the dryish mud, swamps. Like Shrek’s swamp. Muddy, and smelly, and she dust bathes in it.

Wow! That's weird and funny!

I often think that CreamPuff is half pig. If I let her, she would eat ALL the food I have!
