    Medicated vs non medicated chick starter feed: which should I get?

    I used medicated feed and the chicks still got coccidiosis. So I don't waste my money on it any more. Hatching from your own eggs helps. Chicks can be vaccinated for many things. Determine what you want them vaccinated FOR. I get mine vaccinated for Marek's since it was in my flock before...
