30 seven week old girls came together no other chickens
Not vaccinated at hatchery but on medicated starter feed what else should I be doing I really don’t want to lose any
Worming do they need vaccines is they’ve been together this whole time and no other chickens

There's no need to have them vaccinated. As far as worming goes, I normally worm my birds at 5-6 weeks old if they are on soil due to our warm/wet soil most of the time. When and how often to worm birds depends on your soil conditions.

Keep Corid (for coccidiosis) and some kind of de-wormer on hand for the just in case. Medicated starter is not a guarantee that they will not get coccidiosis (which is the only thing medicated feed is meant to help prevent). Corid will take care of coccidiosis if they do happen to get it. I personally don’t worm my chickens unless I know they have worms in order to not let them build up and immunity to the de-wormer. But as stated above, everyone works their chickens differently and it can depend greatly on soil conditions. Keep your chickens healthy by providing excellent bio security - clean quarters, fresh clean water, and a proper diet. Limit treats and do a lot of research so you know what to expect and what to do.
