Will medicated feed hurt chicks vaccinated for Cocci?

[Winter]

I had my chicks vaccinated for Cocci at the hatchery. I brought them home yesterday only to find to my horror that I CAN NOT buy non-medicated feed here.
Help. I gave them some %16 pullet feed for the night just to get them started but I know they need more like %20 chick starter.
What can I do? Medicated chick starter or non-medicated grower seem to be my only feed options....
I know feeding the started will nullify the vaccine, but will it hurt them.
I am at a loss.

You need to find non-medicated if your chicks were vaccinated. Hit the phones, or maybe someone in your area will see this.

It does not exist. I have driven to/called every feed store in a huge radius. No one here has even heard of non-medicated.

OMG, I just found a store in a town somewhat nearby that carries it. Of course like every other store it is open until 6 which means I cant' get there. I don't understand store hours, if you have a job you presumably have money to spend, yet you can't spend it because stores are only open when you are at work!
Grrr.
I could maybe get there Thursday, can the chicks go that long on the %16 grower???

Ask for Game Bird Starter. It will work fine. Both Nutrena
and Blue Seal have it.
