Frying Pan Chicks at Orscheln's

[Better Than Rubies]

Okay, so, I am super confused about this. You know how, at Orscheln's, they have the different cages of different chick breeds? And have any of you guys seen the cage with the "Frying Pan" label? It doesn't make sense to me (they have their Cornish cross cage, and then usually two cages of "fryers"), because a lot of those so called fryers have muffs!, like Easter Eggers (and their colors vary considerably in that cage). I'll post a video I took sometime in early March, I believe, and in the video, I show the labels on the chick cages before I show the chicks in the cage. Tell me if you can make out the muffs on some of the chicks in the fryers' cage, please.
So, my question is, do you think any of the chicks labeled 'fryers' are individual breeds? Like, perhaps some of them are EEs?

The fry pans are cockerel chicks of non meat bird varieties that people buy to raise to cook "in the fry pan". IMO They are not really a good economic choice b/c they are the smaller breeds, and not at all thrifty in their feed to meat conversion rate.

Ahh, okay... That makes much more sense! Thank you.

That is what I thought too. Just a bunch of rooster chicks.

Some believe with how many roos are disposed of if not bought and how CX health is that the fry pan birds are more ethical. I cannot argue those points. BTW many use chicken tractors and find sources of free feed IE food waste from the kitchen and garden or even dumpsters of grocers and diners.

Like others have said they are a bunch of cockerels of various breeds. Our store here always has quite a few EEs in their mix.
