It should grow out eventually (my cockerel chipped a good part of his beak off attacking a metal bucket and it grew back in a few weeks). If its hard for her to peck she may need her food in a deeper dish for a few days (so she can pick the food up without hitting the bottom of the tub or the ground).
    Just a bit of 'stating the obvious', but if the break is near the 'nostrils' take care not to stick the repair-stuff over the holes.......

    Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

      Don't forget that the vapour from most super-glues is very poisonous, and one whiff may make her keel over!

          Nail varnish might be OK, as long as you are careful where it goes.....
