Parrot beak?

Is this parrot beak? It’s not misaligned, just the top beak is much larger. Should I do anything to help it? It’s large and active and seems fine.

Wow this beak is huge for a chicken, you can keep it but if you notice that the chick has hardtime eating and is pecking at your other clicks (if you have more) then consider cutting the edge of the beak as it can be fatal for them.
 
You can file down the top beak to make it shorter. Agree with @PanosGR, it can be fatal.
It look more like a deformity. Kinda like overbite you’d see in animals or humans. If your in the US then there is no way for it to be parrot beak. We do not have the parrot beak gene here in the states.
