I need help identifying a growth on my hen. It looks like it could be a cyst from an infected wound. If anyone has had a similar situation I'd appreciate advice on how to treat it.

I just purchased a variety of female birds, including Italians, Japanese Coturnix, and a Texas A&M. This girl seems to be more flighty, and wild in personality. She's also lighter in color and has larger eyes than the Japanese.

I have 16 Coturnix hens I keep in 4 separate cages, and I'm about to put them all together into a big aviary. I'm worried that mixing flocks that have been established for over a year can cause fights, and potentially lead to injuries.
