Got This rooster today and Just saw this, it’s around his ass, What is This?

I’m not letting him in My coop if This is something bad because my hens don’t have this!

I saw it when I was bathing him after a fight he had with my rooster, now I’m worried this will spread to my hens, I’m cleaning my coop and I hope to good that this won’t spread to my coop, but this rooster will be separated from my coop now!

Look at the picture in the following link, those may be lice nits, can't see clearly enough in your pictures to tell:

Okey thanks, I don’t think they look like those things on the pictures but I just plucked al of them out of him and it didn’t hurt him at all, I took one and but in a closed class and I’m going to take it to a man that wants to examine it and let me know What it is.
 
Those are lice eggs. They hatch every 10 days. Get some permethrin spray or dust, and treat him around the vent and where you see lice. You should also be able to see tiny fast moving beige bugs when you part feathers under the vent. Treat him again in 10 days, and check him again to see if he needs a 3 rd treatment. Keep him separated for 30 days, just to make sure that he doesn’t have any signs of illness. By then his lice problem should be solved.
 

okey thanks, I have some spray that is supposed to kill lace so I'm going to spray him with that, I bathed him today so hopefully some of them died them but I'm going to spray him just in case.
I'm still going to take one of those balls I plucked out to the man who wants to examine this to see what he think just in case.

I just got this rooster today and my hens and my other rooster doesn't have this but I'm really scared that they may have got infected because my rooster was fighting him today so maybe they spread to my hens, I'm so worried, I'm going to spray them to and clean there coop and but some staldren on the floor in the coop,staldren is a dust that you but on floors to kill any unwelcome guest like lice, so hopefully my hens won't get this to, but this new rooster is not with my hens anymore, I but him in a dog cage in a cabin where I have no chickens, hopefully I get rid of the lice
 
Staldren is a drying agent that helps treat bacteria and fungus according to the company, but it probably will not kill lice. Permethrin, carbaryl or sevin, and Elector psp containing spinosad are very effective products. You should be able to find permethrin at a garden store or a livestock feed store. The spray can be used on the chickens and in treateing the coop.
