I would advise you to check on the quality of the feed you are giving, preferably find a reputable kienyenji mash in the market .

For coccidiosis it's all about litter management and poultry house aeration, ensure the litter is dry more around the drinkers, you could raise your drinkers to avoid water sipping on the floor often which then creates a good ground for coccidia to thrive.

For vaccination only do so if you are 100% sure of their health status. Vaccinating sick birds will be more stressful and costly for you.
