I normally do it about 6 weeks old.

I mix some of the chick crumb in with the growers pellets to start with.

I think some folk will do it from 4 - 6 weeks onwards and some from 8 weeks.

Same as splash has said really. I do mine from about 6-7 weeks and mix in both crumbs and pellets for about a week just until they get used to them.
