I need help identifying if I have purebred black Ameraucana's....The mostly black one is the rooster, as you can see on the wing and chest are light tan flecking feathers appearing..... the last picture is my Easter Egger rooster in the front, but behind him is what is supposed to be my purebred black Ameraucana hen, she has black on her head and rump, but fawn colored everywhere else. The "breeder" told me she will grow out the black feathers all over eventually. Is this true? Anyone know about how Purebred Black Ameraucana's should look at 2 months? Help! Thanks!

Leg color comb and muffs/tufts scream true Ameraucana. But as said above leakage does not go away it gets worse. Black will be black and stay that way.
 
Thank you all for your awesome responses! Thankful for confirmation of what I had suspicion of!
