No, horses living with chickens are not more likely to get salmonella in a reasonably clean stable. All animals are exposed to salmonella outside, and could become carriers. No barn is entirely free from salmonella, as all birds and rodents could be carriers. To prevent infection, keep the chickens out of the feed room, hay and bedding storage areas, and clean the water bowls daily. Discourage the chickens from roosting over these areas so that droppings do not contaminate clean areas. Horses under stress are more likely to contract salmonella, but not neccesarily from the chickens. If you suspect your horse is sick, contact your veterinarian.

How big of a piece of raw chicken can you give your cat?

If you are living in North America, it is not safe to give raw chicken to your cat at all. Chickens are subject to infection with salmonella, and salmonella can transfer to a cat or human. In Europe, chickens are routinely vaccinated against salmonella, and so there is much less chance of infection. The largest piece of raw chicken to give a cat would be probably abut a half inch (1cm) across by one inch (2cm) long. This assumes, of course, that the cat is an outdoor cat and has experience hunting. If the cat is strictly indoors, and has been primarily fed on 0repared cat food, it is probably better to go with a smaller size -- diced to about a quarter inch (1/2 cm) cubes.
