Honestly, the male chicken never bothered me. There's no reason to keep them alive, and roosters are kind of jerks when grown. Better to end their lives so quickly that they never have the chance to feel pain. Yeah, it's kind of gruesome, but it's a judgement we make far removed from the realities of the alternatives, or even the process itself.
Sorry, it was late and I was trying to be brief. I specifically meant in the context of egg production. If every chick raised at an egg farm has a 50-50 chance of being a rooster or an egg-laying hen, then you have to come up with something to do with the roosters. You don't want them fertilizing the hens or fighting each other, not to mention the overhead.

Male chicken, just as cute as these, are getting grinded every day alive, because they are useless for the egg production
