Chickens came with the First Fleet to Australia.

What did the convicts eat on the second fleet?
On the Second Fleet, convicts were provided with a meager diet that primarily consisted of hardtack (a type of dry biscuit), salt meat, and peas or beans. The food was often of poor quality and insufficient quantity, leading to malnutrition and illness among many convicts during the voyage. Fresh provisions were scarce, and the conditions on the ships contributed to a high mortality rate.
