I just discovered that one of my lav orp pullets has a cracked beak. Otherwise, she looks OK.

I'm trying to debate if I should try to clip the beak, superglue, or just leave it.

I offered a bite of bread which she ate. Do I need to separate her for feeding?








Thanks in advance for any help.
 
The lower right corner may go back to the quick, but I don't think so from the picture. If only the horny part of the bill is involved, there should be no bleeding.
 
In case anyone was wondering how it worked out, the pullet is fine. I ended up trimming most of the broken piece off then filing the other side to get rid of the sharp point. A few days later, she evened out the beak on her own. Her eating didn't seem affected.
Here she is now.
