Hi All,
I just found out that Tropical Traditions sells their cocofeed for poultry that is non-GMO and soy free. I don't know anything about chickens and feed but thought you all might be interested in their information for supplementation. I e-mailed them when I saw that they sell frozen chicken raised on their cocofeed to see if they sold the feed itself. Below is their response, which includes ordering information.
This tells a bit about the cocofeed:

Beth (who wishes she could have layers so she wouldn't be stuck eating GE corn/soy fed chicken eggs (at least it's local ~ sigh!)

Thank you for your interest in Tropical Traditions! We'd love for you to tell your friends about our Cocofeed! We are now able to offer our Organic Cocofeed to customers. It will ship from a feed mill in Wisconsin. We have a Starter/Grower ration and a Layer ration for chickens. Please check with us for availability of a turkey ration. The cost is $25 per 50 lb bag, plus shipping. There is no minimum order. Four bags or less will ship by UPS Ground. Five bags or more will ship by freight. One full pallet contains 40 bags. The more you order the more you'll save in shipping costs. We will run a shipping quote manually for each individual order.
If you order 5 bags or more, we will need to know if this is shipping to a residential area and whether you have a loading dock. We will be glad to provide a truck with a lift gate and pallet jack at an additional charge if you don't have a dock.
The Cocofeed will not be available online for customers to purchase, but must be processed by phone with one of our Representatives. Cocofeed is non-GMO and does not contain soy.
