I noticed today that my bourbon red seemed to be losing its color in her face. She seems a bit paler than the other and I watched her poop and looks like blood in it. Could someone help me identify what may be wrong

Welcome to BYC. I really know very little about turkeys, so posting on the turkey forum too would be a good idea. Turkeys can get coccidiosis like chickens do, but may not have as much blood in the droppings. Worms and mites are 2 other parasites that can cause anemia. Have you checked for mites on the skin, or have you wormed your turkey. For coccidiosis Corid (amprollium) and Sulmet are often used to treat it. Here are some links to read that may be helpful:
