I had a Jumbo brown hatch and he had splayed leg for 2 days I been taping his feet on the table for a few minutes at a time to try and train his legs but I don’t know if it’s efficient or how long will it take to heal? Help Pleasee!

Try talking a hairband and tying both legs together to help her walk. Pictures would be great!
 
I tied one of my splay legs together with vet tape, maybe you can recreate vet tape with a bandage cut into lengthwise strips. It might impair its mobility so supervise it as much as you can. I put the hobble on my chick on day 2-4 and it was fully cured by day 5.

Thank you for your advice unfortunately I cannot take pics but I can describe to you that both legs are stretched out and he scoots around for food and water

You might also try cup therapy. You can put it in a cup that will keep its legs together and it will try to climb out, strengthening the legs. Make sure to give it breaks and not let it get cold or overheated.

If it doesn't improve over the next couple of days, you may have to cull it.
