Can guineas get leukosis from chickens?

After much confusion about why my chickens kept dying the vet did a necropsy and then called a state university pathologist today and it was concluded that I have Luekosis in my flock. I'm devistated, I've only been able to enjoy having them since May. I have read articles that say there is a 100% death rate, and some that say far less. (If anyone can clarify that I'd appreciate it). If all of them die I will have no choice but to sadly give up on chickens and admit I failed at it.

Is there any chance I could get guineas for my coop or would they catch it too? My husband built a big beautiful coop and it's awful to think it will now have to sit empty or be burned down.

Any have any thoughts?
