Do eggs get salmonella from the mother chicken?
how do the bacteria get into eggs? There are two ways this might happen: 1) Chicken poop gets on the shell of the egg. The bacteria pass through the pores and proliferate inside the egg. 2) An industrial egg-laying hen whose ovaries are contaminated with salmonella bacteria passes the bacteria along in the egg-formation process.

Can germs get into a chicken egg?
The highest risk for contamination of an egg is Salmonella. The shell does protect against these organisms entering, but if it is cracked or highly contaminated it will not stop contamination. Washing the egg too much could also compromise the barrier causing contamination. If the egg is cooked properly, Salmonella contamination should not be a problem as the bacteria will be killed with sufficient heat.
