That helped a lot thank you!! This chicken was named LouLou but I think it might be a Lou!! LoL So if anyone can tell for sure if it is a hen or a roo that would be helpful!!

Also if anyone knows how to make them stop pecking at the insulation that would be helpful too! We didn't want to put walls inside until we move it to a new location!!

I can't really tell. The tail makes me think roo, but I'm not seeing pointed saddle feathers. Hopefully a buff orp. owner will be able to help you out.
Can you cover the insulation board a few feet up with some cardboard until you can get the walls up?
The only place the insulation board wasn't covered with walls in my coop was on the bottom of the door and the chickens were attracted to that styrofoam like magnets.
I found a thick piece of cardboard and cut it to fit. They can't see the styrofoam, so they can't eat it.​

Thats a good idea!! I have tons of cardboard!! Thanks for the tip!

Can you post pictures of the other BOs to compare? It really has that hen look about the face except for the large comb. How are the spurs forming? Or aren't they?

So far I haven't noticed any spurs. This is the best picture I have of my other Buff Orpington...
