What color/type of silkies are these chicks?

[JK93]

I bought 2 "show quality" silkie chicks from a local breeder last week who outside of emphasizing they were show quality confused me. They said there was frizzle and "none" frizzle silkies and when I picked them up I was told I was getting "regular" and "naked neck" which regardless I'm happy as long as they're silkies. What colors are these guys? Is the naked neck a sizzle show girl she has odd wing feathers coming in that are angled away from her body? She's yellow with dark spots and the other one is pure cotton white with dark spots. Are either a frizzle? Are they show quality? What do I have my hands on here this is my first ever round of chicks/chickens and I'm not sure what type I have outside of silkie for these babies haha.

I think both are what they call paints. White with some irregular black spots. One looks like a regular Silkie, the other like a Showgirl.

I would be suspicious of the 'show quality' statement. There is no way to know if chicks are show quality. A breeder can say the parents are show quality, but chicks may not live up to the standard of the parents.

The Showgirl is a frizzle. Forgot to add that!

Thank you!!! Well after a quick Google search I will have one of the world's oddest looking chickens on my hands, amazing.

I prefer regular old Silkies myself, but lots of people love Sizzles and Showgirls.

Thank you! Your ladies are precious! I'll be picking up 2 more of the paint silkies tomorrow. My show girl did not make it, and passed away so my little one needs some brooder mates. I will say he/she is the sweetest little creature I've ever had the pleasure of being around.
