(1) Have you heard of chickens in US fed or injected with hormone? No.

(2) No rooster/cock is sold in American supermarkets. In fact, they are
killed right after birth. This is just common sense--a hen will lay eggs in
absence of a rooster. See

(3) In United States, if you want to buy
Pastured poultry

, you just go to a specialty store and pay more. It is a free country here.

Note: In Massachusetts (where I live) and beyond, it is called "free range"
chicken.

(4) Nor do chickens in Taiwan are fed or injected with hormones, which can be
translated in Taiwan as either 荷爾蒙 or 激素.
