Broken beak question

I have a pullet who somehow managed to break the tip of her beak. We found her with it hanging off slightly. The tip was too cracked up to be glued back on so we gently clipped it off with nail clippers as many online resources said to.
My question is what now? Please see the attached pic. In the pic you can see she has the under part of her beak intact but I want to know how fragile that hard part is. It looks like the flesh/nerves live right underneath there. Is there anything I can do? I have read that the top will grow back. What should I do in the meantime? Many thanks for any advice!

I am no expert on beak injuries as some others here. I do think that in time the beak can grow back on top. Some sources say that an empty tea bag paper can be used to repair a beak with alittle SuperGlue. Using chicken feed made wet with water in a tall bowl may be helpful in getting enough food. Here is a good article to read:

Thank you! I did see that one and as I said her beak was not repairable. I’m just trying to figure out if the under layer of her beak is strong enough and if there is anything more to be done 😞
