Actually, the parents are very different. If they weren't, you'd be buying the parents. The effects of heterosis is what makes the offspring do what they do.
But you are right about one thing. The way the parents are kept is another of my long list of reasons for not liking the X bird. It's just another form of factory farming.
BTW, how old are your birds now?
Not quite Buster... I've tried to explain this to you multiple times. Check the link out I posted. They are not the same, but very... very similar. If raised on full feed.... you would have the same results.... and yes if you would buy the parent by-products you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference. There are three breedings that go into the end result.... the third generation are very similar to the final product.
