I searched egg laying hen population by year. The end of 2022, after the culling, it was 377 million.
Based on the article another comment had, the 80 mil was total birds killed, not just egg hens, so it was likely actually less than the 17% I estimated.

Nice, that doors sound like a pretty minor ‘shortage’, considering
