Yes. The long tail feather often drop off during the first molt when all the roosters feathers are replaced by new one's. The new long feathers will take more time to regrow so be patient, they will come back. Many roosters lose the long feathers due to picking from the hens while they roost at night

A rooster that has lost its comb will not be able to grow the comb back. Roosters and hens both do not have the ability to grow body parts back if they become decayed or injured.

Is it okay for Polish chickens have bald spots?

Most likely your hens are molting but if the bald spot is on the saddle...the area on the back just above the tail, what is happening is the rooster is wearing away the feathers from mating with the hen. This is normal and will last until the next molting period when the hen will not allow the rooster to mount her and her feathers will re-grow.
