i'm no expert, but i thought chicks were vaccinated either in the egg or right when they hatched....
what kind of vax do you think they need?

Did you hatch them yourself or did you buy them from a hatchery? As far as I know hatcheries vaccinate chicks before sending them off. If you bought from one, phone them and ask if they did vaccinate and for what. Here's an excellent article on vaccinations that should answer your questions:

Just to clarify what Sumi wrote: hatcheries don't vaccinate all chicks. You have to pay extra for vaccinations, so it's possible to have unvaccinated hatchery birds here in the US.

Exactly, also in other parts of the world this applies too, for instance my birds are not vaxed, it was an option at purchase time not an automatic.

You can buy Mareks vaccine and others. It can be given to older birds. It is expensive, though.
