Found that Wageningen University in the Netherlands has a PoultryBot.

Obviously they’re all for industry. China and Thailand apparently has ‘robot nannies‘ monitoring chicken health. There’s also some robots for feeding chickens, and for keeping them on their toes, by driving into them…
PoulBot is a bit closer to the magic side, studying social ecology, with a robot for chicks to imprint on, who takes chicks around, and counts the chicks and goes back for any left behind. It beeps instead of clucks. The above-head camera is probably not realistic for most settings, but it allows a useful behaviour they call avoid-running-over-chick. The idea is to work out what cues are required for chicks to accept a robot as a mother.
