The correct way to phrase this is: "Coryza is a highly contagious disease that chickens MAY carry". Not all chickens carry coryza, the way you have it worded makes it sound that way, which will reduce the credibility of your post.
Also, there are more diseases that transfer from chickens to gamebirds--diseases that may or may not be deadly to chickens but will kill game birds. One of these is MG, a respiratory illness. This disease causes swelling of the sinuses, runny/watery/mucous-y eyes, sneezing, and 'rattles' when breathing.

I'm sure there are more, but this is what I know of. You should do your research and post accurate statements and facts before requesting a sticky.

ETA: It also makes the post more 'reader-friendly' if you break up each 'tip' into a new line, rather than having one huge paragraph for the entire thing. I know I often skip reading posts that have large bits of info in the same 'grouping'.

MG IS THE CAUSATIVE AGENT OF THE INFECTION COMMONLY REFERED TO AS CORYZA IN GAMEBIRDS....

M gallisepticum is the most pathogenic avian mycoplasma; however, strains may differ markedly in virulence. Primary isolation is made in enriched broth medium containing 10-15% serum, then plated on agar. Typical colonies are identified by immunofluorescence.
Transmission, Epidemiology, and Pathogenesis:
In the USA, most breeder flocks are free of M gallisepticum , and outbreaks are due to lateral transmission from infected chickens​

MG and Coryza are 2 different diseases? How can one cause the other?
