Scaly mite or bumblefoot?

Use gloves when messing with Bumble Foot, it's a staph infection The plug/core needs to be removed, hope your Vet can remove & give you the right meds. Keep us updated.

Took him to the vet. She said foot is Bumblefoot. Red leg and red bald stomach is likely due to his weight, he is 7kg and 2 years old.

Glad you were able to see the vet. Did she treat the bumblefoot?
What breed is your rooster - is he a meat bird? 7kg? So he's 15.4 pounds?!
Did the vet check to see if he's got fluid in the belly by any chance?

Thx. He’s definitely a meat bird so I guess he’s living on borrowed time at 2 years. She gave me the strongest antibiotics I am allowed to give him. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.

Well, you've done pretty well keeping him alive for 2 years!
I hope the antibiotics help and you see improvement.
Please keep us posted.
