Anyone know what could be wrong with this baby? She/he can move the leg just won't use it.

I suspect you may have a slipped achilles tendon. Here is a link to info on how to treat it, scroll down to 'fix slipped achilles tendon in hock joint' : https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/poultry-podiatry

Oh no. I think you are right. The leg will not budge when I try to straighten it. This chick just hatched early this morning between 2am and 4am...
