So i hatched these chicks a few days ago but theres this one, They're mom is a salmon faverolle and their dad is SUPPOSED to be a salmon faverolle ameracauna mix but this little chick doesnt look like dad or mom or any of their other siblings who are just yellow. Theres another rooster in the coop, a ayam cemani so its confusing. Who's baby is this???:hit

Looks perfectly reasonable for a SF crossed with Ameraucana or Easter egger. I agree that it shows no signs at all of being half Ayam Cemani.
I still don't understand one thing, All the other chicks are yellow some splotched lightly with some brown, This one is the only brown striped one. They all should be sharing the same parents so i dont get it
 
Basic genetics of passing on one gene of a pair genes from mom and one gene from a pair of genes from dad form the new pair for the offspring. This is how all the children in one family don't look exactly alike in people or chickens.

@Amer and @nicalandia - Can you explain why this little one is different?

Depending on whether the bird was actually part Ameraucana (which I doubt) and what color it was will affect the pattern. Not to mention sex because Salmon Faverolle and some Ameraucana have different patterns, etc.
 
A lot of wheaten based chicks have stripes (including pure wheaten Ameraucanas and Faverolles) but I don’t know if it shows to this degree.
I’m thinking it’s wheaten based though, probably ewhewhMhMh. Maybe it’s just an exceptionally patterned one. 🤷‍♀️
I honestly have no idea, but thanks for asking me.
