If your management (ie cleanliness) is up to snuff, most likely the chicks won't get sick with the coccidiosis, and will go on to develop immunity to the parasite by adulthood. Just remember to switch feeds very gradually to avoid any problems in that regard. I used medicated feed with these (my first, as well) chicks, but in the fall I will most likely just use good management practices and flock raiser unless there is a problem. Good luck!
