Oh my. I'm heartbroken to hear what you are going through.

The ducks AND geese had MG?

I am soooooooooo very sorry for you.

Thank you very much.

I had one goose and one peafowl tested for MG, the goose's test results came back as positive, but the peafowl's test results came negative.

I have been keeping (I brought 7 peafowl from a breeder, they were hatched this year) at my neighbor's across the road, and was very careful about tracking anything there, it finally paid off when the test results came back. I will have to disinfect everything, and get the new 20 x 60 coop built, and tear down the old coops before bringing the peafowl home.
These pictures were taken a month ago. My peafowl growout coop at my neighbor's. I have 4 white, 1 silver pied, 2 blue indies. I built the coop myself. Its 4 x 8 x4.

It was a tough and very sad decision for you. You did the right thing. I wish you the best.

This story is oh so horrible

i read the entire thread and almost broke down crying.
I'm so so sorry you had to go through that. I can't imagine having to make that decision.
I have learned alot and your thread is going to be helpful for many people in the future that may have the same problem.
I'm so sorry you lost most of your poultry :[.
Atleast got to keep your peafowl!

Is it safe to eat meat and eggs from coryza-infected or MG positive birds?

Yes. I have sold my infected birds as meat birds, and have eaten the eggs myself with no issues.

I spoke to our state vet in Texas a few months back about coryza and he said it is really hard to test for, and often times if a bird has it they also get infected with MG.

That's so sad
Good luck with rebuilding your flock xx
