Splays can be caused when the surface of the nest hasn't got enough grip so the foot slides.
The second post on the thread this link leads to has photos that illustrate how I corrected a splay leg, using a procedure that was gentle and stress free for the pigeon: http://pij-n-angels.forumotion.net/p...d-legs-t22.htm Cynthia

Someone else on here had mentioned using a rubber band, which I successfully did with one of my babies earlier this year. I put one snap-on band on each leg with the rubber band stretched between them. Not too tight, but just enough tension to keep its legs in the proper position. This was a very young baby, not out of the nest yet. After about a week and a half I removed the band and the babies legs are perfectly normal now.
