Stray rooster found me, any care advice?

Our take

A stray rooster has fluttered into your life, and it sounds like quite the feathered adventure! After three days of playing hard to get, you’ve successfully captured this handsome guy, who’s surprisingly calm despite his initial antics. Currently, he’s in quarantine due to congested breathing, and you’re treating him with VetRX. It’s wise to monitor his improvement closely—typically, you should start seeing positive changes within a few days if the treatment is effective. If his condition worsens or doesn’t improve, it may be time to seek more intensive veterinary care. You’re also right to check for mites, especially if his legs appear dusty.

Stray rooster found me, any care advice?

This pretty guy started showing up 3 days ago and I was finally able to catch him. Despite acting like I was the antichrist previously, he has been super chill post capture.

He is separated from my flock for standard quarantine and due to congested breathing. Im treating with VetRX.

Questions:

When should you start to see improvement if VetRX is helping with a respiratory issue. When would more intense medical intervention be needed?
1. Does it look like he has mites? His legs are certainly on the dusty side and I want to be safe so I dont spread anything.

There's been no luck locating his original home so he either escaped and found my flock or was dumped. He's gorgeous - came with nearly every add on installed (5 toes, feathered feet, walnut comb, muffs, cool hat). He was also a gentleman in the short time he was around my ladies, so if no owner shows, im probably keeping him.
