This is the quest you're referencing I think Gegenji. So, it would seem wild chocobos may be eaten by Chocobo Forest residents? I'm still not sure it's something incredibly common, especially outside the Dravanian forelands, where chocobos are a rare and expensive commodity given their very recent rarity.
If your chocobo dies though, I guess you could always eat it.
That's the one! But yeah, it does seem that - in the general sense - they are very likely treated like horses in that they are generally not eaten. It just doesn't mean they can't be if necessary (or you're in a place ripe with them like Chocobo Forest).
