Top beak broken off at tip. Disease? Just got them last night.

I also put a driveway stone in the pen, my birds always rub their beak on it to sharpen it.
some please correct me but I think beaks are similar to toe nails and continue to grow over time and like toe nails are trimmed by normal chicken behaviour like digging and foragin.
 
Basssnake - I'm with you, I do not believe there is a breed that has a naturally occurring 'trimmed' beak. Imagine the dollars and time a battery farm could save breeding that anomaly into their caged birds? My three Hylines came with awful trimmed beaks - it did not impair their ability to gobble feed. Last time I looked their beaks appeared to be more natural looking. I will have to check them out tomorrow and see if I am wrong..I have never heard of a 'black rambler' either, so will stand corrected if black ramblers with naturally occurring trimmed beaks actually exist.
