When you can introduce layers pellets to your bantams?

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.

What age do you stop feeding baby ducks?

Farm ducks need feed everyday. Domestic ducks are dependent on the feed a farmer provides and only supplement their feed on a pond and around the yard. You do not "stop" feeding domestic ducks. If you have been feeding wild ducks then you can stop anytime you feel you want to. The ducklings will follow the flock and feed where the adults are feeding just in shallower waters.
