Is your chick spending a lot of time directly under the light or hiding away from it? That may give you a clue if its peeping is related to any temperature needs.
Of course, chickens are just gregarious creatures anyway. It probably does want a chicken friend. I like the idea of the ticking clock! That's smart!

I got a 3 week old silkie chick awhile ago with the same problem. She could shatter an ear drum. Unfortunately I wasn't in a possition where I could get another chicken friend. I got her a teddy bear which help a little but not much. The mirror and feather duster didn't help either. So I just continued to hold her constantly throughout the day. She would scream every time she was put back in her cage (rabbit hutch). I think it took about 3 days before she started to calm down. Its been a week and a half now and she's doing fabulous. I still spend a ton of time with her and she only cries for a few minutes after being put back into the cage before she starts running around and playing. She's also my little buddy now which is great.
