Now why would you think that, since long before 1850 Washington and Jefferson both kept a variety of chickens, and they were not all games. If those guys did it, it's a safe bet other farmers did too.

The others may not have been deemed worthy of writing about even though they were more important for the table. Its a man thing that may have corrupted the accuracy of our historians. Mayflower records I think indicate chickens.
