Photos of where she is being kept? Whole housing/brooder, feed/water stations and other chicks.

The injuries seem to be consistent of a bird sticking their beak through wire trying to reach something or getting hung in something. Are you feeding through wire?

She is in the coop and run with the older hens. She’s been using this type of feeder for the last two weeks. And the waterer is a pvc pipe with water nipples.

Is she the only youngster with the older hens?
She's getting her beak hung in something.

The latest injury toward the end of the beak, she's bent it or caught it in something.
Have you ever bent your fingernail backward and it left a red/blue mark? That's what it looks like to me.

Observe behaviors and see if she's getting chased or cornered by the older birds, she may be injuring her beak in attempts to hide/get away.
