Feather follicle cyst on crested duckling?

Throwing this out to the community while we wait to make a vet appointment tomorrow.

One of the ducklings we recently brought home is a crested Cayuga (along with two others). She was the only one and we wanted to make sure she has a safe home. They’ve been home for a week and a half.

Today I noticed a bubble? Cyst? Dangly thing? on her crest. It was not there on Friday and I’m wracking my brain about whether I saw it yesterday. She hasn’t had any head trauma as I monitor pretty closely.

Has anyone encountered this before? Could it be a cyst? We plan on taking her to the vet to get it assessed as I worry about it getting pulled on by her brooder-mates.
