That is nothing new, premature death has always been the inevitable fate
of battery hens as soon as their egg production rate falls off...usually
less than a year after they started laying.

The UK will continue commercial egg production from hens that spend
their entire short life in cages; just very slightly larger cages than the
previous "battery" ones.

But presumably some of these will be young battery hens? If they can
move them to bigger cages then I would have thought all these poor
"doomed to die early" ones will be passed on to the next concentrated
food production?
