I think maybe the Central American tribes may have, not chickens as we know them today but wild gamefowl.
Plains and Eastern natives certainly didn't.
The Dine (Navaho) probably started keeping chickens after the Spanish arrived.

Up until that time only the various indigenous grouse would have been hunted but not domesticated.
Comanches wouldn't even hunt or eat a wild turkey....they considered them cowards because they would run away from them...if they ate them, they believed they would take on their characteristics and be cowardly, too!
Running away seems like the best plan.turkeys are pretty wily.
