Purebred Buff Orpington chick?

I found out this one is crossed with an Araucana, thanks for the help and good guess! Lol.
Would she lay different coloured eggs? (If it’s a hen) I’m a little worried about adding a crossbred to my flock off Buff Orpingtons, I know it sounds mean but I don’t want crossbreds

Yes. Presuming that the Araucana was pure for the blue shell gene, the cross means green eggs. It's simple enough to not hatch any of those and the trait ends with her. If it turns out to be a cockerel, that's when you'd need to concern yourself with separating him.
 
It’s only been a little over a week but these chicks have grown a lot. Here is updated photos of the BO cross. It’s quiet an interesting looking chicken, I’m hoping for a hen but it is starting to get a pinkish comb
