It started out as just a weird bump on our coturnix quails head. No external things sticking out. However, yesterday I looked and he had a little lump sticking out externally from his misshapen head. And today I looked and now it's bigger. I thought it was a scab at first, but there was never any sign of blood or injury.

It's not cancer if it's soft and squishy. More likely it's an insect bite or a cyst.
Could a cyst on the head like that be dangerous to his heath? Or genetic? He is our breeding male, if it's genetic we don't want to have him passing it on. As for a bug bite, the original lump is hard inside. That new growth is not.
