Question

Why did my baby roller pigeon legs didnt grow out rite n now it can fly?

Answer 1

I presume you mean that the leg splayed out to the side.  That's often caused by insufficient nesting material and/or nothing on the bottom of the nest so that the baby can't keep its legs under itself.  It's more common with single reared young.  It may also be caused by a lack of adequate calcium and minerals in the parents' diet.  

In the future make sure that their is a stable surface in the nest bottom - I often add a 1/2 in layer of grit in the nest bowl and provide plenty of materials for the birds to build their nests, pine needles, etc.

If you should find a baby that's beginning to straddle out, you can either put something in the nest so that it can push against (say a wooden egg, etc.) if it's a single reared youngster.  If it's already begun to splay out to the side, then you can sometimes tie the legs together underneath the bird in a natural position (DO NOT cut off the circulation in the legs or you're in a worse position than before) and sometimes that will at least get the bird into a position where it will be able to walk and fly almost normally once it's weaned.
