    If that’s true… It’s not a very apt name for it. Unless Hawaii has some mega chickens I don’t know about.

      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.

      Unless they mean it looks like an egg the size of a full-grown chicken.

        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.
