are there chickens anywhere that are given hormones?

As far as I have been able to determine, this is a myth, and the reason they grow quickly is selective breeding.

If it's the same objection that is raised against milk drinking, then it's more about natural hormones in the milk/egg that is intended for a calf/chick. Not artificially introduced hormones.
