What is a pan fry chick?

I hear ya! I must have just gotten lucky then, but I did sex them in store , so that may have given me a tactical advantage.
Thanks for your help, I'm sure the op appreciates the clarification as well.

I hope you don't get a big surprise as well,most sexing technics that I have read on here do not work unless they have been bred for it.What technics did you use?

How did you sex them? I assume you tried using feather sexing? Then you are extra lucky, or your feed store did not know what chicks they got in. Feather sexing does not work for most breeds. It is only valid for certain hybrids and strains specifically bred for that trait.

Well for the barred rock I used the recommended method of no dot/small dot/large dot on head and chose one with almost none.... Literally one little down feather of white. And the EEs I feather sexed, but apparently I'm exceptionally perceptive when it comes to sexing (so far) as out of my 35 birds, I've been wrong with one, a he turned she. They're not full grown yet, but I'm still very confident with all of my birds, but I still may be proven wrong. I don't even know if I could fully explain my method, I use a little feather sexing, and a little temperament sexing (although I don't believe in using only that, as I've got some bossy girls) but mostly I can 'just tell' I don't know how....? I'm sure it is a good possibility the store I bough from had mixed up chicks, as it does seem the norm for pan fry to be boys, and the term does make good sense.

Let me clarify my OP. I didn't buy any pan fry chicks. I went to orchelens a local place and my wife said there was a pen labeled "pan fry" chicks. That's what I thought I remembered them being labeled too. My point was that all 100 or so of them, looked like our black chick with feathered feet. I was trying to ID her breed and saw a pen of chicks labeled "pan fry" and they all looked like her so I thought see was called a "pan fry" chick. However, it did say they were all pullets but called "pan fry" pullets. Sorry for any confusion.
