Non Flying Turkey does it exists?

Another reason I’m thinking of getting Turkeys is maybe they could help defend against hawks.

I have never seen my turkeys try to defend against any raptors. When raptors fly through or sit in the trees, the turkeys hide.

This spring I saw the group of wild turkeys on my property, hanging out with a goose. Gosh that goose is clueless. I hope someone finally broke the news to her, that she is NOT a turkey
