Please help, what is it??

My new chicks that joined our family today from Ideal all have a white tip beak. Can anyone tell me why? They didn't clip their beak did they? Just the very tip on all of them.

Thank you

Probably just the "egg tooth" they use to break the shell. Should go away in a day or two.
