There is none. To deny the truth is to lie and live it! Living a lie is denial and the state denial and living a lie is synonymous with telling a lie. Perhaps the only real difference is in the motive. To deny the truth can be motivated by a desire to avoid the harshness of the truth but still requires deception. While to lie maybe the consequence of denial and or intentional deception. To deny something often requires the omission of the truth while to lie is to to deny or contradict the truth. But a lie by omission is still a lie!

No, he is lying. If he were saying the truth, then, in theory, as he is a chicken, he would be lying. Then, he cannot tell the truth. So, he is lying. But, if he is lying, then all chickens say the truth, and he cannot be lying.
The key lies in the word "all". He is lying that ALL chickens always lie, therefore not necessarily all chickens say the truth. It could be that some chickens always lie. The truth does not have to be the opposite.
Therefore, he is lying that chickens always lie, and the truth is that "some chickens always lie".

Almost certainly never, using those words at least. In British English 'pants' means 'underpants', which would be a strange and inappropriate thing to say in the first half of the 20th century.
There are no well-documented quotes using the more likely 'trousers' either, which means it should be regarded as doubtful.
