I would depend on how much he ate. A small amount would probably not do any harm. But a larger quantity may give him the colic or even cause an impaction. Keep all feed (horse or chicken) locked up. I have known of horses turning doorknobs, lifting or sliding latches, ect, to get to the feed. Any feed needs to be kept locked.

Can a horse eat poultry scratch feed?

I don't think it's a good idea. Scratch is made for the digestion of poultry, which is vastly different than the complicated gut of a horse. I'm all for giving my horses treats, but always apples, carrots or horse cookies made for horses. I would advise to leave the scratch to the chickens.
