Not only are they like nails, but they'll actually keep growing, like rodent teeth.
We had one poor hen who decided she preferred soft foods, and would never scrape her beak on rocks or other things. She wouldn't peck, rather she'd gently rip off chunks of bread and such. We had to eventually trim the end of her beak with a trimmer, because it was getting large enough to interfere with her ability to drink
