Welcome! Good for you rescuing this guy. Permethrin dust will do for his mites or whatever too.
There's testing that can be done for some of the diseases that you want to avoid introducing into your flock; check with your state veterinary path lab first. New York has Cornell, so there's at least one out of state but nearby place to call.
Having a rooster 'completes' the flock, I think, and he may be meant to join yours.
