Chicken does not have steroids in it. It is illegal to consume products with hormones due health reasons, so I would not worry about that aspect. However, it is not suitable for a long term only diet. You can mix the 2 to see if it is a happy medium. They make a product called laxatone that can help with constipation. You can also add miralax, 1/8 teaspoon twice a week to the diet to help.
