Well these are two different problems: 1). The practice of male chick culling and 2). The treatment of laying hens.
Although these two problems are linked, I don’t think it’s fair to say “it’s better to kill day-old male chicks than allowing them to live horrible lives in cages”. Both problems are equally grotesque and require intervention.
I think that both problems have “gone under the radar” so if they were discussed more and given more public attention, it will prompt other researchers to look into alternatives and solutions.
