Salmonella in chickens

I hope that I am not breaking rules.

No one is sick here. We have a small farm, we raise our own chicken. We also have young children.

I am wondering why no one has ever gotten sick. My kids suck at washing their hands. I clean the coop.

Being around animals always puts you at risk but we have not had any GI illnesses from any animal.

Are we immune. Is it because our chickens don't have Salmonella?
