The chicago.bst style was probably not designed with URLs in mind. 
If it was, URLs should print automatically with it.  So you need to 
make a new bst file using custombib to replicate the chicago style 
with URLs included.  Towards the end of the custombib prompts there 
is an item "Include REVTeX data fields"  to allow you to output 
other information like URLs.

To make the new .bst file type "latex makebst" into a terminal window 
(assuming your TeX installation was set up to use the command line as 
well.) and follow the prompts.  You'll probably need a good written 
description of the chicago style that you need at hand to answer all 
of the questions.

  (If not, run the i-installer configure phase to set command line activation).
