I have a 3 year old Dark Brahma that has stopped crowing, his face is pale and if I get close I can hear garguling when he breathes... What can I do and what could it be? He is eating and drinking.
 
He may have a respiratory disease such as infectious bronchitis, mycoplasma (CRD,) or coryza. He also sounds anemic. I would check him all over especially under the vent for lice or mite eggs. Does he need worming? Is he molting? Here is some info on the above respiratory diseases: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ps044
 
Tylan50 injectable is a good medicine to start with. It can be given as a shot into the breast daily 1 ml dose, or very carefully can be given orally straight. Only give a little at a time letting him swallow. Oxytetracycline in the water would be another medication. Duramycin 10 is another one to use.
