νοσσίον

A nesting, brooding bird. Both tame and wild chickens were known in Bible times, but they play an insignificant role in the Bible, appearing only in Jesus' comparison of His care for Jerusalem to the care of a mother hen for her nestlings. The Greek terms are general terms for birds and nestlings (Matthew 23:37; Luke 13:34 ).
