No, a chicken beak is not a bone; it is made of a hard, keratinous material similar to what makes up human nails and hair. The beak is a specialized structure that serves various functions, including feeding and grooming. While the beak has a bony core, the outer layer is not bone but rather a tough, protective covering.
