Considering 90+% of birds come from factory farms (US based stat, I don’t have data for Ireland) and given what we know about large scale industrial farming, if I were one of those birds I’d say someone looking out for my welfare would actually let me die of bird flu rather than continuing my tortuous life.

Oh yea I completely understand what they mean, but they're protecting profits, not welfare.

Both of those are not mutually exclusive currently. They have to be housed and monitored so any free range outlet is trying to do what's right for their hens and the people who consume their eggs.

I agree with you! Most people don't give a fuck about chickens. If people really wanted to give a shit they should refrain from eating eggs at least until birds flu is over so that there doesn't need to be so many chickens.
