I called my farm bureau contact, Sarah Bjelland, and she sent me the following:
I contacted our Illinois Ag in the Classroom staff and they asked their chicken expert. She informed them that salmonella can only be transmitted when trying to cook eggs or chicken. There is no problem with a risk of salmonella when trying to raise chicks. Hope that is helpful. If they want to speak with an expert themselves I would recommend contacting the American Egg Board [http://www.aeb.org/] or the National Chicken Council [http://www.eatchicken.com/] I added the web sites for your convenience.
