Chicken beak question

[Antoniogd]

This rooster broke/cracked the top of his beak and I was wondering if it would grow back. I'm not sure how he did it but it doesn't look too deep. The part that worries me the most is the tip of the beak looks really thin and goes straight down, not in a curved way. Does anyone know should I do?

@Antoniogd hi! How is he eating and drinking?

Have you tried opening its beak to see if the "crack" is surface or all the way through?
Looks like it's "scraped", maybe he tried pecking at something & got it's beak caught?
Does he free range? Other chickens? What do you feed? Is he eating/drinking ok?

Yes it's only on the surface of the beak and he does free range. He free ranges with his hens but he does also have his brother. They get a long with eachother 95% of the time but sometimes they do have their differences and they did fight while I wasn't home. They're both eating and drinking good and the one with the damaged beak seems to be doing great. My best guess is that it definitely got damaged during their fight but I want to know if he'll be okay or if it'll grow back to normal.

The beak is like our finger nails, it'll grow back

my rooster somehow managed to break off the tip of his beak once. it grew back without me doing anything.
