Chicks being thrown from nest

So my silverbills have incubated their 4 eggs from the minute she laid then they have hatched and they threw the first chick however I thought it was accident as I found the chick dead and didn’t actually watch it happen however it happened again once the second egg hatched and it was bleeding on its head with a little hole ( obvious it’s been thrown ) I have now moved the two remaining eggs into a society nest

What can I do for future preference to stop this

Just put their eggs under society or Java finches.

Sheather one chick is still alive under a society trio so that’s good and I’ve just got 6 new silverbills
