Bacitracin is an antibiotic, not needed, especially in farm flocks! Mary

Bacitracin is a Antibacterial not a Antibiotic.

It may not be needed in the backyard flock BUT it can be found in some common poultry feeds. I believe Purina is one feed mfg that uses/ used it along with Amprolium in the broiler show feed.
