Medicated chick feed with vaccinated chicks. HELP!!!

[ldelorto]

So this morning I picked up 3 chicks (our very first chickens even) and on our way home stopped at Klems, which is a feed store/ tractor supply and where everyone I have talked to suggests to go, only place in central MA I know of (also a 40min drive

) They only had medicated starter!!! And my chicks are vaccinated. So I hear this is a no no, but I have visited several locations and made many calls and think my only option is ordering online..... But in the mean time is medicated ok? For the week? To over night the starter it's 30$ shipping for 5lb and that's just insane. So pretty much, I know they shouldn't have medicated, but will it still cancel out there vaccinations if they only have it for 1 week? Just waiting for the non-medicated, or if anyone has any other suggestions on what I can do. HELP!!

from what I've read - if the chicks were vaccinated for Marek's disease and the medicated feed is for coccidiosis- it should be okay.
