Default New chicks

Not wanting to count my chickens before they hatch, but we stand a good chance of having chicks in the next couple of days. We currently feed our chickens on layers pellets, but would we have to change this when the chicks hatch? I am guessing that we would be able to feed all the chickens and chicks on the same as each other,as have no idea how to keep them apart at feeding time, but thought I should ask what they should be feeding on
