Normal or Damaged Beak?

[ZeeAviatrix]

Hello,

I recently received my Golden-Laced Wyandottes and have been enjoying the heck out of them! I ordered one rooster and two hens. One of the chicks has a strange beak tip. I don't know if it's normal or did it damage it some how?

Has anyone else ever seen this? Is it something to be concerned about and/or will it go away by itself?

Thanks for the help...

Looks like the egg tooth. Should come off by itself soon. Usually falls off within a few days of hatch.
So that chick may be slightly younger than the others.

Wow, interesting! That chick is actually the biggest of the three. Maybe it's the rooster!

Thank you!
