Given that you've capitalized it, I would call a baby Robin. Robin is a proper name. Same too with a baby fox - if you capitalize as you've done, you've already named it, specifically Kit.
As for a chick, you can call it Henrietta (my personal favorite for a baby hen) or any other name you chose - just remember to capitalize it.

What Are Baby Robins Called

There's no specific name for a robin as opposed to other perching birds. Baby birds in the nest are nestlings, recently outside the nest are fledglings, or juveniles. Or baby robins.
And to the guy who criticized your capitalization, it's proper in ornithology to capitalize official names of birds. If you're talking about the Robin in the UK, then your question is correct. Otherwise American Robin is correct. (Unless you're in another country, in which case Clay-colored Robin, etc. etc.)

Most baby birds are also chicks. I imagine baby robins are the same.

Any young small bird is called a chick.
