This is both an economic and health choice. Many small operations like to keep the birds on the chick formula/grower for up to 12 weeks. With Bantams, the larger size of the grain is sometimes a problem for small beaks and crops. As most breeds will not start to lay until they are 4 months old and older it is often a good choice to start the layer pellets in the 4th month.
You can introduce layers pellets to your bantams once they reach about 18-20 weeks of age, or when they are close to laying eggs. It's important to gradually mix the pellets with their current feed to allow them to adjust to the new diet. Make sure they have access to fresh water at all times.

Do layers pellets contain chicken?
Most of the Layer pellets I've checked do not contain any chicken. Typically they contain wheat, rice, other grains , minerals (probably to help offset the acidity of the grains) and sometimes soy or canola. Probably the worst thing about layer pellets is that many contain chemicals to color the egg yolk yellow and probably some genetically modified ingredients, particularly soy & canola. I saw a documentary program some time ago where some chickens were fed pellets that contained up to 50% chicken manure! Don't know if this is still happening but if it is, I wouldn't want to be eating anything from those chooks. Your chooks should do OK on layer pellets provided they also have plenty of clean water and vegetable scraps.
