It looks like my girl has broken the bottom part of her beak. It's still attached, so now she has an underbite instead of an overbite, and it kind of clicks when she eats. Should I leave it alone, or try to remove it somehow? It doesn't seem to be causing her any pain. What do you guys think?

Up to you, but in my opinion, if it breaks off on its own, it may go down into the "quick" and that would hurt. I'd take her to the vet.
