We do chick crumbs from 0-6 weeks, growers pellets from 6-16 weeks and then layers from 16 weeks onwards

I wouldn't start layer feed until closer to 20 weeks. That is around the time most breeds start to lay. If you can get the grower feed that would be best to feed from 8 weeks on until they lay.

It kind of depends on what is available to you. I fed all my ducks chicken feed. It went starter 0-8 weeks old, grower 8-18/20 weeks old, then layer over 20 weeks old or I found my first egg.
