I noticed this evening that our Rhode Island Red has a chipped beak. I don't have any idea how it happened and it's been a few days since I've looked hard at the chickens so this injury could be almost a week old. Do I need to do anything for her? She's not acting different, I saw her eating fine before I noticed her beak. I appreciate any insight!
 
It should be alright eventually and regrow. Sometimes it makes it easier to eat mushy feed with some water added. If it gets worse, beaks can be repaired with the paper from an empty tea bag and super glue gel.
