My baby zebra finch hatched on 8/5/2020. Both parents seemed to have neglected the baby and I believe they are picking at him/her. I see the back of the babies neck is a little irritated as though they are pulling his/her feathers. Is it too soon to separate from the parents to a different cage?

Nature has a strange way of taking care of their own. The parents might be doing this because the baby could be sick. If you feel like you can help this baby and save its life then you should remove the baby from the cage and set up a new cage for this baby. This is quite a bit of work but you can raise the finch yourself if the parents are hurting the bird and not taking care of it correctly. Here is a great article on all that you will need to raise and take care of the finch on your own. animals.mom.com/
I would not interfere with the nature of things. There is a period of time in this process from beginning to leaving the nest.
