At Maple Leaf, we made a choice to raise all Prime Naturally* chickens on our proprietary VEGETABLE GRAIN feed - a wholesome blend of corn, wheat, soybean, canola, and vitamins that contains NO ANIMAL BY-PRODUCTS. We made this choice to provide you with a natural, safe product that you can serve with confidence to your family. This came off their website.

No. Growth hormones are not only too expensive to use on chickens, it is also illegal in almost every country around the world. Chicken producers depend on a profit to stay in business, the cheaper they can raise a chicken from hatch to market weight the more money they earn. Growth hormone can only be given by injection, feeding it to the birds does not work. A single injection of synthetic growth hormone is about $3.00 per bird, producers make less than that per bird dressed weight.
