Yes. Most types of Salmonella live in the intestinal tracts of animals and birds and are transmitted to humans by contaminated foods of animal origin. Although most infected hens have been found in the northeastern United States, the infection also occurs in hens in other areas of the country and many countries around the world. Only a small number of hens seem to be infected at any given time, and an infected hen can lay many normal eggs while only occasionally laying an egg contaminated with the Salmonella bacterium. The bacterium is also found in the feces of many avian species.

∙ 14y agoYes, sometimes chickens, just like other animals, can have Salmonella bacteria. These bacteria are usually present in the intestinal tract and occasionally, during the processing procedure; carcasses can be contaminated with the bacteria.

Are horses living with chicken more likely to get salmonella?
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.
