All I can say is that you are right to be concerned. I'd be very concerned. I don't know what he has but once something gets introduced into your flock....there's no going back. Been there, done that. The other thing is that even with him being quarantined you can so easily track whatever this is all over the place. Virus, bacteria and fungus can all travel on your shoes, your clothes, your hands, hair, you name it. Viruses are airborne and can travel easily to nearby birds. Quarantine works if it's true quarantine. Just penning up a distance from the other birds is not true quarantine although that is what most people do.

I'm sorry if I sound like such a negative nellie about this but I've been down that road of having a flock infected. Hopefully he'll get better and your other birds won't be affected. Bird diseases just seem to never be that easily controlled or gotten rid of though.

know iwant him to be the part of the flock as soon as possible....but no if i want my flock..
 
If I were you I would either get him on medication or put him down. No need to make him suffer. If you truly aren't going to medicate him then keep him 100% separated from other birds, no where near them, and be very careful not to carry contaminated items or clothing to your other chickens. Remember if he does get better and it was CRD (Chronic Respiratory Disease) he most likely will be a carrier for life, and at some point in the future it will return and it will infect your whole flock. So if you aren't willing to medicate your whole flock (which apparently you aren't since you won't medicate one chicken), you should put him down. Or someday you may end up losing your whole flock. I am speaking from experience- it really does happen like that.
 
Well he his fine now and I think he needs no medication ( because their could be side effects on him if disease is not known ) I'll introduce him too the flock in the next week ..
NOW he is on my roof playing alone....

I was asking if i could put him near chicks because of lower space but problem solved because i will keep him on the roof for a week ( i brought a cage just like a small coop for him)
ONLY one chick hatched today
