Meli,
 
I think most folks involved in this discussion feel your question is  
relevant and of interest. My great grandparents were the immigrants, mostly from  
Denmark, and no one is around to ask about poultry eating habits. My  
grandparents are gone too, although my maternal grandmother of English and  Scotts-Irish 
descent kept chickens and her husband, my grandfather, was a meat  cutter. 
This leads me to believe they consumed chicken. However, more relevant  to you is 
the data my crew gathered at the Ballast Point Whaling Station and  Chinese 
fishing camp. Unfortunately, I am not there until Saturday. I do know  both 
groups consumed wild birds, as well as domesticated.
