My darkest lavender orp cockerel seems to have really big feet, much sturdier than the other two cockerels. He already weighs a bit more too. Does that mean he will grow bigger and/or faster than his brothers?

I don't really know about feet. Your pullet's a pretty colour.
I find with my Orps that the nicest males go through a phase of looking horrid & gawky. The ones which are nicely proportioned tend to not amount to much, whereas those which grow a large frame & look gawky tend to be the nicer birds when they've filled out.
 
That's great news! If that's true, then I have three future gorgeous, currently gangly and goofy young roos! They really ARE awkward at this stage... I mean REALLY awkward! LOL They look like a kid's drawing of a chicken.
