I'm still waiting for the biblical passages supporting the assertion that chickens have souls.

"Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." Genesis 2:7
I believe the soul is what makes us living beings. Therefore I believe that chickens have souls. That doesn't mean that they are the same level as mankind, but they have a spiritual aspect to their nature.

That's what you see when you add Christian presuppositions to what the Old Testament actually says. But the Old Testament, stripped off these presuppositions, does not say what you think it says.
That's if you want to disregard 1/3 or so of the bible.

Then why doesn't it expressly say so? And also if the trinity is god's true form, why don't muslims and Jews believe in it, who follow basically the same holy book?
Ditto.
