I used to live in Connecticut, and had a bird buddy feeder out back. This cutie would come by every day. I have also posted some of this one to r/birdsfacingforward, fear not. :)

Hey flock moms and dads, I am not new to chicken keeping, but I am a bit concerned about my Lady Gray. There was some sort of combat event a few weeks ago, possibly with a coon but we are not sure, and at the moment the girls (Lady Gray and Lady Earl) are safely in the garage to dodge the heat and predators.

Lady Gray appears to have a chip off her beak and I'm not sure what is exposed or if this is safe. She and Lady Earl have been acting normal, laying well, eating and drinking no problem, and at the moment nobody is wheezing. Mostly they seem bored and frustrated indoors.

Do you think I need to have the vet look at or prosthetically repair her beak at all? Or is this ok and she will be fine/heal fully on her own?

Sorry for any photo blur, she was super wiggly and I had to convince her my finger was a grub to get her to pause for even a second. She's a spirited one!
