I'd start gradually introducing the growers pellets now.  Mix it in with the crumb and gradually increase the quantity of growers over a week or two until it's all growers.

It's anywhere really from 5 to 8 weeks depending on which web site you read!  ;)

You don't need to give them corn at the moment unless you plan to use them as table birds.
