I noticed this on my chicks beak a little earlier today. It looks like it’s split. It doesn’t seem to bother her and she still eats and drinks, but I’m just not sure what I should do. She’s about 10 weeks old and is with 4 others. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you

Are you able to gently manipulate it back into place? Doesn't look too bad, & should heal up fine.
 
No, it’s sticking up kind of like a chipped/broken fingernail. We used a nail file to tried to file it smooth. It’s still a little almost flakey, so I’ll try my nail dremmel tomorrow with a gentle bit on it just to get it smooth.
