There's another point to consider in the statistics of chance here. One human infected with a human inluenza strain can expose how many birds? It is not just one way. In fact, chickens have a lower immune resistance to disease than humans. The chance that an infected human will cause the mutation by exposing chickens to a human virus is actually probably greater than going the other way. Chickens are not the cleanest animals.
