Welcome to BYC! I'm glad you joined us! 
Usually chicks have difficulties with their legs because of poor incubation temperatures/humidity, nutritional deficiency, or genetics. I would suggest posting in the "Emergencies/Diseases/Injuries and Cures" section.

It may have been cramped in an odd position in the egg - does it's leg feel warm to the touch or cold? Some very gentle massage may help if it's a circulation problem.
Do the feet seem normal, not crooked or splayed to one direction or another.?
