They're ostensibly "at risk" but it's not "super high", not even close. There has only been one confirmed human cases of H5N1 in the US [1], which has the fifth most chickens of any country in the world. That one case was a poultry worker who was culling sick birds.
Chicken farmers have to go out of their way to get infected.
