This is the first time I've hatched chicks and am worried about one. He/She keeps walking backwards most of the time and upon further inspection I saw it does not bend it's right leg. It still walks to the food and water but does not walk forward to get to much else. I don't know what is wrong with it and how I can help. It is a 3 day old light Sussex.
 
Have you tried using the chicken symptom checker tool to get an idea of the possibilities of what it could be? http://www.poultrydvm.com/views/symptoms.php

However, off the top of my head and them being a chick, I suspect it is either some sort of nutritional deficiency or Avian encephalomyelitis.
