Spreckles
A protection turkey, is like a protection dog. I have heard of some turkies, being very territorial and protective of home and owner. Pigs are great for that too apparently

. However, if they're wild, then that won't work.
By the way, (don't tell your granddaughter ), but large hawks and Owls can grab small cats and carry them away for a snack (so keep an eye on kitty ).
Good luck with the packing and the moving, and the shoveling. I'll be doing the same thing in a couple of months' time (and I'm not looking forward to it).
