I think my baby zebra finch is undersized. I have a baby zebra finch in the nest, it is fully feathered, but looks tiny and I am not sure how old the baby is. Can anybody help me?

I might have the answer to your problems. if you think it is to small it might just be it's first layer of feathers. finches have 2 layers. if it has still got a bit of a black beak it is 4 weeks or younger. if it is orange then it is more than 5 weeks. I would take it out of the nest put it in a cage separate from the others and make sure the feed and water are on the bottom of the cage and it will get fatter and look more healthy in around 2 weeks. if beak is still black then don't remove the bird.
