I would be concerned about Fowl Pox. You definitely need to separate it from the other birds.

2 years ago I was gifted 25 mutt chickens of which 20 turned out to be roosters so I ended up with 5 hens in the end. About 3 months ago one of them became broody and ever since we've gotten 1 to 2 eggs per day. We made the decision to re-home them with a wonderful family who have roosters...
