Here's a rooster with fake feet:

Foghorn The Rooster
Foghorn is a rooster who lost both of his feet to frostbite. He was rescued by the Canadian Calgary Animal and Bylaw Services who got in touch with Dr. Daniel Pang, an Assistant Professor of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (UCVM). Dr. Pang teamed up with Dr. Mark Ungrin, who is also an assistant professor at UCVM but who specializes in cell biology and tissue engineering. Dr. Ungrin had been doing work with prototyping and simulating body parts through the use of 3D printing technology. Dr. Pang approached him for his assistance with developing new feet for Foghorn.

WOAH! thats awesome!

So you can try adapting her to booties used for bumblefoot:

These are soft so you will have to figure out what to put in them to provide strength. The most important thing to remember is not constrict the blood flow to her remaining stump.

Totally amazing, ain't it?

She's learned to get around pretty good, and she's really fast,

This might be late, but what about getting the smallest pair of doggie booties for outdoors that you can. Usually they have velcro to help keep them on.

Well, since she's adapted to her footless life then I'd recommend keeping an eye out for infection on her stumps, and make sure she is not being bullied by others in her flock. Your main concern in this approach is to make sure frostbite does not take the rest of her legs. She needs to be kept clean, dry, and out of the mud. Butterfly would be a great therapy chicken (if she were tame!) as I like to use animals with these challenges to teach kids how adaptable the physically challenged really are.

Just wobbling around. She's been like this for nearly a year now and she is pretty much over all the chickens. The most dominant in the flock
