Are the soles of her feet yellow or white?

If yellow, probably a Sapphire or, possibly, some kind of barnyard mix.

If white, either Australorp or Orpington. Hatchery-quality version of these two breeds are VERY different to tell apart. The profiles *should* be different:

From Openpoultrystandards.com,

Orpington:

To my mind an Australorp has a more athletic look while an Orpington is rounder. But hatchery quality birds often vary a great deal from the Standard of Perfection.

Look up pics of Lavender Orpingtons. She could be one?

No, she has the dark head and lacing on the feathers appropriate to a blue bird rather than a lavender one.
 
How old is she? Any new pictures?
If she’s a year old plus, from that photo I would hazard an Australorp.
