Have you started some poultry vitamins on the two chicks? Those can be helpful with leg and foot problems on newly hatched chicks. Poultry Cell is preferable to NutriDrench because of it containing riboflavin, but use whatever you have at the moment. Give a drop a couple of times a day, get them drinking water, or you can use something like .SaveAChick vitamins with Electrolytes.

Compare the two legs. To me it looks like it might have a slipped tendon.

This video shows how the tendon pops in and out of the groove

Yes, I thought that's what was wrong in the first place. And for the second chick, I think it has clubbed feet.
