Possible.
You have another thread about a lump on a rooster, it can be found below!

It would be good if you can actually I.D. what you are seeing on the bird - mites, fleas and/or lice - do you have all 3 parasites?

Sticking with one thread can also be helpful to you and to others that may offer suggestions, that way all information is in one place and posts don't get confusing or we don't have to repeat suggestions or ask questions again in multiple threads.

Well, if you are seeing lice nits at the base of the tail (like Qtips?), then Permethrin will help with those.

It's possible that there's mites/fleas there too, you'll have to look.
