My chickens are roughly 3 1/2 months old. When I went outside to hand feed my girls some meal work treats, I noticed one of my Rhode Island Reds had (what looked like) the tip of her beak missing. It's not a large piece, but I wasn't sure if this had to do with the fact of her being young and still developing, she chipped her beak somehow or if it was indicative of something else going on. I took pictures of it from several angles and would love commentary from the more seasoned hen raisers. It almost looks like she is 'shedding' the tip of a former beak and developing a sturdier one. I don't know if that is even possible?
