We had 3 birds that had mycoplasma. We got them from a swap. So we killed the 3 and now we are cleaning up. We are vacuuming their run and washing everything. Any tips for cleaning? Should I burn the stuff we have in there (things they hide behind and perch on)? My main question is, how long should you wait to put other chickens in the run?
 
If you are absolutely certain that it was a mycoplasma disease, MG or MS, that your birds had; 3 days is the survival time of the disease in the environment after the infected birds have been disposed of. Here's a link, please read the second paragraph for an explanation:

Eggcessive provided you an excellent link as well.
