If they're dried mealworms be sure to soak them first before feeding them to the chicks.
 
The chicks look like Blackbird. They do nest early. Thrush do mud linings though and they do like insect food.
I would suggest either blackbirds or thrushes Pete, definitely not parrots sea eagles or flamingos.
Following on to what Paul said dried meal worms should be soaked, little fledglings like that can go downhill very quickly from dehydration
 
That piece of shell looks like the inner curve of the egg Mike so it wont be much good for ID
It's an excretion parcel from one of the chicks, normally carried off by the parents and dumped away from the nest site
to avoid drawing predators. In colour Robin eggs are a mix of light/mid buff.
,
 
British robins eggs are light brown, I suggest you all find a nest instead of googling, I've seen thousands of robin nests,
not one single blue egg.
 
These are the Robins eggs I've been seeing for the last 50 odd years, slightly brown but definitely not blue.

That's the trouble you see, yours are the proper colour being in Wales but because HC is from The Pool the top layer of paint has bin robbed off the eggs so his are blue. They can't leave owt alone in The Pool.
🤣🤣🤣
