what customers are saying: I would just like to say that I am extremely satisfied with the
quality of your soy-free organic chicken feeds. My laying hens have been raised on it since birth and are now healthy and productive. I know that what I am feeding them is good for the Earth, good for the chickens, and good for myself, and free from herbicides, pesticides, and the hormones in soy. Everyone who has tried my eggs has commented on how much better they taste than supermarket eggs. Plus, the feed is always shipped fast so I can order a new bag a few days before I run out and have the new feed on time.
