Bump on hen’s beak

[MorwenSeregon]

Hi! I noticed this bump on the beak of one of my 11-week-old hens today. I’m thinking it might have been from getting pecked by another hen, but because it’s a bump, I wasn’t sure if I should be worried.

Does this look normal and, if not, what can I do about it?

Those can be common. I would look for anything sharp such as a metal feeder or fencing where she is injuring it.

I’ll check around the coop/run for sharp areas. Thanks!

I agree that it looks like a healing scrape. I'd simply keep an eye on it.
