Yes this can be true. Not only from chicken but cows as well. The farmers give it to the animals to produce more eggs or milk. Here is a website.

That's one theory and there's definitely some sense to it. There's another having to do with light exposure. The idea is that something is triggered in the body when a girl has been exposed to a certain amount of light. In past decades and centuries a girl would be exposed only to natural light during the day and low-level artificial light (like candles, fireplaces, etc...) but as electric light has come into widespread use, girls are exposed to more light for more hours of the day and the trigger is released sooner. I don't know if that one's been debunked.
Likely it has mostly to do with superior nutrition and health care. Even so, I don't like the idea of pumping animals full of antibiotics and hormones just to increase output. We are what we eat and there may be unforseen consequences to it.

Actually, it is probably from increased nutrition that we have today. Kids get all the food that they need and aren't starving, which means that they can put more energy into puberty because their body can support a pregnancy.
Plus, more kids are becoming overweight every year because they sit on their butt watching tv instead of going outside.
I think it depends on the lifestyle as well as genetics. I am slender and didn't start my period until 14.
Take a reproduction class if you are silly enough to believe that it's the hormones.

I heard milk also had something to do with females developing sooner.
But that could also be a propaganda for people to start buying organic. But the proof is out there i mean look at them young females ... if i were a guy i would ALWAYS ask for ID

I was raised on organic food and had breast development at 8, my growth spurt at 10, and my period at 11. One case isn't diagnostic, but that would seem to indicate that, no, it isn't the hormones in chicken.
What *has* changed over the past fifty years is that we're now getting decent nutrition. We know, for example, that drinking opium as a cure-all (as they did in the early half of this century) isn't a good idea; that being fat isn't healthy; that vitamins and minerals exist (and can be added to foods or swallowed in pill form), that you can vaccinate against illnesses that used to claim a great portion of children.
A common symptom of malnutrition? Absence of a menstrual period...
Now that we're healthier, our bodies can easily manage to begin reproducing earlier.

Yes, and the milk. US milk has been banned in Europe because of the rbgh (growth hormone) that is usually found in it.

It is not ALL livestock and farms, though. Organic farmers are much more concerned with what they put into the food they produce.

thios is not true. Women eat more healthy now. That is the reason. NOT BECAUSE OF CHICKEN.
