Yes. Molting is the loss of feathering and will happen all over the chicken. They can end up looking very rough for a few weeks. Feed the hens a little extra during this time to help boost immunity and renew the feathers. A vitamin tonic in the water supplied will go along way to getting them back in top condition and don't worry about a few bald spots unless they start to pick at each other and cause wounds.

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.
