Cliff interesting question...I think sometimes a random chick gets mixed into the pot, since in the nursery they are usually grown very close to one another. So I would have you double check that those chicks are actually attached to the momma?? And per my info - yes the chicks are exact copies of the momma. When you have semps grown from seed is where the difference comes in - seed semps are not genetically the same as parent plants.
Also - For some reason this thread didn't come up on my other list as a new thread, so I'm going to allert Lynn, Chris, Kevin and Peter and see what they have to say!!
Cheers
