While there is a lot of fuckery with “organic”, on the whole it should be better off. The chickens laying organic eggs generally have a better environment, more space and better food. This helps boost their immune systems, and slow the general spread.
There are very few treatments to stop bird flu. Healthier birds is about the only viable defence, once it’s in.
A lot of the expensive eggs are more than just organic. There are other classifications for eggs too. Like cage free, or free range. These have increasingly strict regulations (for now I guess).
But free range chickens must spend a certain amount of the day outside, and below a specific population density for that range they are free in.
Cage chickens can’t move and shit right next to each other. They are more likely to get the flu I believe.

Doesn’t look like organic has anything to do with the health nor environment of the chickens.

Organic is a non-scientific approach to food based in the fallacy of “natural is good”. It’s typically arbitrary and less efficient.
