There's no way she could know they were birthed from a nut that fell into a swamp, unless one insists the nut was somehow sapient and she inherited its consciousness, which is silly for obvious reasons. Moreover, she tells Twilight this story after Twilight began to get excited about Chrysalis perhaps having a chance for redemption after all and feeling guilty for her current state; Chrysalis lying to Twilight about her origins to claim she's MadeOfEvil could just be her mocking Twilight's feelings to rub salt in the wound.
