Crowing
Your hen will probably be fine if the silkie is a rooster. Silkie roosters (and roosters in general) are not aggressive if raised properly. You need to shower them in love and they will love you back.
If you are worried about your hen getting scratched on her back then get her a hen saddle is it comes to that. You can also shape the nails and spurs to loose their sharpness with a nail file. There are tutorials online that can show you how to do that if you don’t already know.
I wouldn’t caponize it because it has a pretty high mortality rate and the chicken lives a miserable life caponized.
