Is it safe to feed chicks sugar?

I was wondering if you could give sugar to chicks as treats. Is it safe?

I don't do it, I figure it's not really good for them and it's not something their bodies "need".

Here's a really helpful chart on good treats for chickens. And if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see things that aren't good for them too.

Hope that helps.
