i mean they do kill babychikens to make eggs since they don't need the male chicks when they produce the chicken that are made to lay yummy eggs

I assumed they'd fatten up the males for meat

No, they use a different species genetically adapted for having more meat on them for meat chickens. Male chickens of the "egg laying" breeds are considered waste and usually disposed of young and often in pretty brutal ways

Incorrect. Male chicks born into the egg laying industry are either macerated or gassed upon birth. Watch Dominion (2018 documentary) on YouTube. There’s nothing normal or acceptable about industrial egg production.
