Mother birds sometimes push their babies out of the nest to encourage them to learn how to fly and become independent. This behavior helps the young birds develop important survival skills and prepares them for life outside the nest.

Would Robins throw hatched 2 3 day old babies you found dead on the ground 10 feet from the nest and they are now laying eggs in a different nest?

It is quite likely that another species of bird threw the chicks out of the nest hoping to either claim the nest themselves or lay new eggs and have the robin hen take over the duties of an absent mother. Had it been a predator the chicks would have been eaten. Sometimes babies birds are found dead right under the nest on the ground. 1~ Sometimes it's because the babies weren't being cautious 2~ or the father went off to find worms and the mother was watching the babies. While in that situation, the mother was distracted by some humans and swooped out of the nest to scare them away and the hatchlings fell out. 3~ or the babies were born too soon and died shortly after so the parents had to get rid of all of them If 2, they were in a tight and rare situation. If 3, they nested in a different spot probably because they didn't think the other spot was safe.
