I have a one legged silkie. She was attacked by a raccoon when she was around 2-3 months old. I had the same concerns that you have. She is doing great. She hops around with no problem at all, and is not picked on by the others. My husband built a special coop for her so she can easily hop into the hen house. I also took her to the vet, who stitched up the wound (the entire leg was gone). BTW, this happened in July. So I expect your silkie to be just fine. You did the right thing, and if *you* are crazy, then so am I.
