As yet we are not under orders to house birds but please make sure you do your bit.  Try and keep wild birds away from chicken feed and chickens away from anything you put out for wild birds.  Some basic bio-security measures now will help stop it spreading.

Keep an eye on the advice.  There are only a couple of reported cases for poultry, but many more in the wild bird population, so the risk is out there  :(
