I have a 3 month old (I think) Self-Blue Cochin Roo that was the runt of the bunch of 4. He was beat up pretty bad, which messed up his sight (he's almost blind). I found a home for his brothers and he has been an only child for a little over a week. I have 4 other chickens (2 hens & 2 pullets) but they don't want anything to do with him. Because of his limited sight, I take him outside to get playtime, sun, dirt, glass and to atleast be around the other chickens (if they stay still or if he can find them) but he normally stays inside. I need to know if it would be best for him to have a buddy? And if so, would he do better with a female or male buddy and what age? He is so sweet and it breaks my heart thinking he is lonely.
