More than that, male chicks are overwhelmingly not raised and just killed because they’re not particularly worth the money. Buying mass produced eggs means a lot of chicks died to make it efficient at the start. With cows the males who are not going to be used for breeding (very few are raised as bulls) are generally raised for veal. As you say, they are inextricably linked on the large scale. At least for eggs though, you can definitely patronize small farms that don’t need to employ such aggressive economies of scale.
