No and they are not used in most countries. Growth hormones are banned in all of North America and most of Europe. It is just not feasible to inject a drug into a chicken. Growth hormone injections are worth more than the chicken. Hormones cannot be fed to the birds, it does not work, they have to be individually injected and a current cost of about 3.00 US. A chicken, dressed out and sold to a vendor for resale nets a producer about 4.50 US.
