Hi everyone! My little silkie rooster has a chipped beak (images attached). This must have occurred this morning, as his beak was normal/fine when I put him into the coop. I do not see any redness or dried up blood. I touched it to see if it was loose or could be removed/wiggled off, but it seems to still be attached to some degree. I also have him some corn to see if he can eat still, and he is still able to eat. I am worried, and I am not sure what to do. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Beaks continue to grow. Before long you won't know it happened. If you can't get the broken part out of the way give him a brick to rub it off on his own
I do have a brick under his feeder (I have his feeder elevated). He’s definitely rubbed his beak on that before. Would this be fine? What if it doesn’t come off?
