should I buy vaccinated chicks

[CoffeeCreekChix]

I'm sure I over looked the answer to this question somewhere, but I'm new. Should I buy my chicks vaccinated from the hatchery? I live on a small farm with wild turkeys that roam my yard and some ring necked pheasants. These will be my first chicks and I would like to do the right thing. Not sure if the wild birds make a difference in my decision or not.

There is no "right answer;" it's a personal choice. Many small flock owners do not. Here is just one resource:
