I doubt there is anything you can 'do about it', but at worst (and there have been remarkably few cases in even wild birds in this country, and some of those were of different strains), you may lose your chickens (unfortunate I know, but not to compare with falling ill yourself). Last I heard the only human cases were in people who virtually lived with their chickens.
