The robot would have on it devices for sensing, which would identify the bird in question and an incinerator box attached, much similar to that of a Bomb Squad only scaled down to save costs as it does not have to be as strong. The motors can be smaller, lighter weight materials to save on price allowing the economies of scale to provide the additional costs savings to quickly ramp up the universal usage to protect the food supply.

A robotic arm would be deployed with food to keep the bird from trying to get away.

It would then pick the bird up and place it in the onboard box incinerator and record the pen is missing one bird and real time notify the on board data center as to which pen, which was read as the robot passed the RFID tag on the pen. The robot would control the inventory and keep the disease out of the coup. The data would be able to be taken out by way of USB Thumb Drive by the morning attendant to update and sync the inventories.
RFID Tag tracking along with proper inventory control software can easily solve such problems with the poultry industry like it can the Beef Industry with BSE. Robotics can keep us safe from Avian Flu, by keeping humans away from any infected animal. Instant elimination of infected animal protects our food supply.
