You can candle the remaining eggs to see if they are fertile or viable. Chicken eggs need about 21 days incubation before chicks hatch. Fowl cholera is spread through the mucus of infected chickens and can survive for up to 3 months in the environment under optimal conditions. It is not likely the chicks will hatch already infected.
