Marek's Vaccination

I've got some chicks a few weeks old very healthy and from a place that doesn't vaccinate and feeds all organic natural. I want to add some new chicks to my stock from another great breeder, but they are vaccinated and she insists that all birds should be. Will adding these chicks to my other non vaccinated chicks hurt them?
 
OK reading all these posts and I'm a little confused. Can you only vaccinate when they are just hatched or can you vaccinate later? I bought all mone from individuals and I'm not sure that any have been vaccinated.
 
What hatchery do you use? And does it ship? Thanks!

I just recently hatched a mixture of my own eggs and some eggs I purchased online. Since my own eggs came from my coop outside what is the probability that they were contaminated with Marek's? What is the recommended course of action regarding the vaccine in this situation? I have 7 chicks that hatched.

Also, are there vets that administer the vaccine?

Thanks
 
Hello All, regarding Marek's...there seems to be almost a split down the middle depending on the situation. I have only three buff Orpingtons and intend to keep it that way and more importantly, isn't it supposed to only be done on day-old chicks??
