The most incontrovertible evidence that chickens were not explicitly mentioned in the Torah is that you will not find a single chicken (or parts thereof) exhibited in the Living Torah Museum on 41st Street in Brooklyn curated by the noted expert Rav Shaul Shimon Deutsch, shlita. Rav Deutsch’s exhibit shows the 24 types of birds specifically mentioned in the Torah and not a single chicken is to be found. That should settle the matter.
