I actually was just talking to a chicken friend and she said the same thing about him being lonely. I really only have coop space for one more so i didn't want to get two but I asked her if she would take to other bird if I got another and she said maybe so I'm thinking on it.
That's much better if she can do it, if not you might be able to get another chick anyways and then sell it on Craigslist.
