No, a chiff-chaff is quite different from a chaffinch. I've never(knowingly) seen one, but my book says a chiff-chaff is a little warbler, mainly a summer visior to the British Isles, but occasionally breeds in southern Scotland. It does not mention any maternal egg-painting habits. you'll have to ask Donovan about that.
