Probably so, HOWEVER, anyone raising these birds would realize that they
gain enough on their own without pumping them up. The big guys use all
sorts of complicated lighting, air circulation, feed schedules to get weight
up fast. Us little guys do it without too much hassle and we get close to
the same weight gain.

I know animals are tested for antibiotics before sale at the auctions around
here. USDA inspectors test for contamination in their inspected plants. I
would think there are tests for hormones as well.
