My little guy was brooded with duckling that were younger. He stayed by himself for nearly 3 weeks, but I would take him out to play with. We did swimming time, grass time, mom time...you name it I did it to enrich his lonely existance... He ended up being delightful and has a harem now. He would sit on my shoulder when I was watching tv. I was a bit crazy, but he was EARLY!!

Do you still have chickens hatching too? How far apart are they supposed to hatch? Just brood him with them, Bobby'll be fine.

lots of atention

Get Bobby a feather duster and attach it in the corner of your brooder. Little guy will hide under it and sleep under it like it's his mama. Attaching a baby mirror to the side of the brooder or getting him a stuffed animal are also good ideas.
