One of our girls cracked the tip of her beak and I’m wondering what the best thing to do is in this situation. It’s a rather small crack and I’m wondering if I should just leave it alone or if I should intervene? TIA

You might be able to trim back the beak just a little so that she can pick up feed and eat it. It will eventually regrow in time. Dont trim into the quick or it will bleed.
Here's a link for you to read in case there's further injury/damage to the beak: See post #7.
