So our 12 week old seems to have chipped her beak today. It doesn't look bad, she's not complaining nor is there blood (that we can see). She was free ranging today so Lord knows how it happened. I've attached some pictures. Is there any reason for concern or, since I am new to this, am I overly concerned as this is a normal occurrence. Thanks all in advance.

If there is no blood and she doesn't look to be complaining then she should be fine. I wouldn't be worried at all. As long as she can eat and drink then she is fine. Maybe make sure you have oyster shells/calcium for them to eat at any time to help strengthen her beak.
 
Thanks FG101... Oyster Shell supplment is a great idea I didn't even consider.
