Today the chicks are exploring their broody hutch a little, then ducking back under Mamma to get warm. Its chilly out there (44F)!

From the looks of it, we have two blacks, two mottled and two whites (yellow chicks = white or Splash chickens):

Aw. I bet chicks that get to be raised by their mama are better-adjusted chickens.

Given that chicks with mammas (be they fostered or natural) can mimic mamma's behavior, they seem to settle in to their chickeness better I'd have to agree with you. Thankfully, fostering is pretty easy and mammas will raise chicks different colors and breeds from themselves without blinking.
