Yes, meat can go bad in a freezer that is down. Meat going bad in a freezer that is down depends on how long the freezer is down, how full the freezer is and other factors. If the freezer is down, keep the door closed as much as possible in order to keep the cold inside.
If the freezer temperature does not rise above 40 degrees F.for more than a couple of days, the meat should be okay to eat or refreeze; however, it should always be checked for color, odor, etc. any time the freezer has not been on for any length of time. If the time span for the freezer being off is longer than a couple of days or the temperature rises above 40 degrees F, the food should be checked closer.
Whenever a freezer goes down, especially for an extended length of time, the meat should be checked and any that is questionable should be discarded.

No. Freezer-burned chicken is not still good. Whether any of it might be usable depends how long it has been frozen and why it developed the freezer burn.
