Very late follow-up, but what specific features do chimpanzees have that account for most of the gap between your credence in their consciousness and that of chickens and cows?
Chimps have much more neuroanatomical similarity with humans, more apparent cognitive sophistication (such as learning ability, language ability), and more complex social behavior, relative to chickens and cows.
