I’m sure they mean a Moa chicken.

I think the chicken came before new Zealand in this scenario. The Polynesian word for chicken is moa and they had chickens before the maori were hunting the big chickens.

I mean, there certainly are a shit load of chickens around, but that’s a newer development.
Hua can also mean fruit, so it’s possible it means “chicken fruit.” I’m not sure that makes any more sense, though.
