Hello from East Texas

I have a question! All the adult birds from the avian leukosis ive been dealing with have been culled. The now 3 week old chicks I had bought that haven’t been exposed, I had 2 of those hens that were laying and I was scrambling the eggs and feeding back to the chickens and I fed some to the chicks. It just hit me tonight- could they catch the avian leukosis virus from the scrambled eggs of the infected hen?

I highly doubt it, but I read cooking eggs to 160°F (71°C) will kill the avian flu virus. That's pretty much very scrambled! I'd do it to be on the safe side.
