As for the human body breaking down all hormones, that isn't true. The human body is not able to catabolize all the hormones it synthesizes by itself. Therefore an added amount can creat an unbalance in the human body. Several hormone are created from cholesterol which the body can't break down. So not all hormones are being catabolized.

Interesting! Which one's? Are they growth related? Would they survive the digestive processes in significant quantities?
What about these overgrown chickens? I hadn't heard or read about that. Do you have a link or something? I know that domestic chickens haven't been able to fly properly for hundreds of years now because of the way they're bred for size. They can only fly short distances.
