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.
The scientific name for a beak is "rostrum". The lower portion is the mandibular rostrum and is made up of the mandiblar bone and mandibular beak (aka gnathotheca: the hard covering). The upper portion is the maxillary rostrum with the premaxilla bone and maxillary beak (aka rhinotheca). Gnathotheca comes from the Greek words meaning "jaw + box" and rhinotheca means "nose + box".
You can make a chicken beak using origami, the art of folding paper. Through a series of folds you can make a piece of paper resembling a chicken's beak.
A chicken uses its beak when getting food. The beak is covered with a layer of epidermis. Chickens also use their beaks for grooming or fighting.

Do not put anything on your chicken's beak! Ask a vet to examine it and then they'll give you a perscription to heal the wound. Your Welcome :)
