We don't have roosters often, at least after their full grown but this year we have and we always feed the chickens the same food. He should be fine on layer/mash food

As soon as the group I grow out is laying, everyone in that group gets laying pellets Including the cockerels. This is usually about 22-30 weeks depending on the breed. Some breeds take 35+ weeks before the feed change to Pellets.

Layer feed will be fine for the rooster.
