The basic case for chickens is very strong, even under views that are sceptical of small animals having a high chance/​degree of sentience, because it’s so easy to affect their lives cheaply compared to humans, and their lives seem v easy to improve by a lot
$100m in total is not a huge amount (equiv to $5-10m/​yr, against a background of ~$200m). I think concern about scaling spending is a bit of a red herring and this could probably be usefully absorbed just by current interventions
