Mr. Scallopini broke his beak, what to do?

[Tootsie]

I noticed a little while ago that poor Mr. Scallopini has a broken beak. I have no clue how this happened. What can be done?
The poor guy. Here are the pictures and the bottom one is the other side. I put him in a crate for now so nobody bothers him.

Carefully trim off the broken end and shape with a nail file. It looks like it is just the tip broken?

Yeah he should be fine, just clean it up and let it heal. I've seen roosters with their upper beak cut off, I guess to stop from grabbing hold of other birds? Not sure why they do it but they're just fine after, just looks like they have a bum jaw.
Actually had a rooster that we bought from some guy at a swap meet with it's beak clipped, bloody guy was 2' tall, health as all can be.

I will look again this morning and see if it is just the tip. It was dark when I noticed it of course...
My friend suggested glue but I would need another person and wouldn't want to do it wrong.

My quail broke her beak pretty badly. After it stopped bleeding, she was fine.

I love his name!

I had a polish roo do that...I just noticed one day his top tip was gone. I read on here to just make sure the feed trough is nice and full so he can get a good bite of food.

Next morning it was already off but I will post pics of him/his beak.. now when I get a chance. Thanks.

He'll do fine; my SLW has broken the tip off her beak more than once, and aside from it being a little tender for a few days, she's done fine. It grows back just like your fingernails would.

Only it takes alot longer...for that break it'll be about a year. Just watch for splitting on the sides as it grows back-if it does split, just file it down.
