Are these chicks old enough to go outside?

Her crop looks full...is she pooping?

Yes. Her poop ranges from and orangish color to regular poop with yellow streaks. I'll take a pic if I catch her pooping again.

Also, this is her today. She's acting completely different. The Corid was delayed like I thought it would be, so this morning I made scrambled eggs and put a few drops of neem oil in it. I suspect it may be lowering her parasite load, but that's just a hunch, and I don't have proof.

Don't mind the loud noises in the background. My SO is watching YouTube lol didn't realize my phone picked it up so loudly
 
Don't give her Neem oil...you are going to kill her for sure.

The best thing for her is a complete balanced diet... Chick feed only.
 
I don't think neem oil is meant to be ingested?

Did you think I have them on an oil only diet? I put 2 drops in a scrambled egg that I offered free choice in addition to their chick crumble. I was also under the impression that feeding eggs to sick chickens was encouraged.

Aside from all that, been oil is perfectly safe to birds and is only toxic to invertebrates and amphibians (and possibly reptiles).

"Neem oil is practically non-toxic to birds, mammals, bees and plants. Neem oil is slightly toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Azadirachtin, a component of neem oil, is moderately toxic to fish and other aquatic animals. It is important to remember that insects must eat the treated plant to be killed. Therefore, bees and other pollinators are not likely to be harmed."

"Wild birds throughout the native range of the Neem tree certainly feed on the fruit of the tree without ill effect; this is one of the main ways that the seeds are dispersed. It’s the fleshy pulp around the seed that is relished by wild birds, while the seed then later passes out in whole form – this is often an important part of the germination process in the plant world."
