Help! Quail with half of beak missing!

[Quails andchickens]

I have a coturnix quail that had a unusually large beak. Today I checked on him and the bottom half of his beak is missing. His beak unlike most quail is a little over a inch long now it is about 1/2
Of of a inch he looks like he's doing fine he is eating he is drinking right now I separated him from the other quail and he is happily having a dirt bath but but she cannot breed with the other girls and this has made him hyper aggressive and with the bottom half of his beak missing he basically has a needle attached to his face. He is chasing the other quails around the coop all day and pecking them they're all trying to run away and when he picked me his beak hurt what should I do? Should I separate him from the other quail? Try to make his beak normal? Or should I put him back in the coop and just leave him alone. Although I am not going to put him back with other quail I'll lock him in a part of the coop. Anything helps thank you.

Can you take him to a vet to get his beak trimmed or filed? I wouldn't want to do it without knowing where the blood vessels are. In the future you might give him something to wear his beak down on.

Poor guy! If a vet isn't an option I would trim a little at a time. Not sure how much you can trim before you get to blood. Before you trim, clean the beak really well, then shine a light through from the underside, and maybe you'll be able to see the blood vessels.

This is one I did:

This is kind of blurry, but it shows his beak with his mouth closed:

Ya I think I'll put in some sand or dirt for him and I'll sandpaper his beak sometimes too. Thank you!
