I called them and they said I should get results by next week, they are culturing samples right now. I think I am just waiting on those results.

It's good that you are starting to get some information back.
Does the lab also give information for treatment/prevention since Fowl Cholera is highly contagious.

I hate to say it, but I think I'd rather have MG than Cholera

Neither is good, but MG can be "managed" in a closed flock. Hopefully they will give you a full report so you have better information. Ask lots of questions.

They don’t give recommendations for treatment. I will email later on. I am goin to bleach their waterer i willl try and get the coop sanitized some time this week as I am working every day until sunday. A french drain near my leach feild has been getting backed up when it rains really hard and it rained really bad a day or two before he got sick. Could this have been the culprit.

It's possible. If there's still water backed up there, you may want to block access to it and have it tested.
