Treats for chicks?

My chicks are 5+weeks old and I just started giving them treats. So far I've given them pineapple, strawberry/tops, raisins, meal worms, lettuce & fresh grass. I provide grit in a small can from cat food screwed to the coop wall. Meal worms, raisins & grass has been the favorite.
 
How about plain yogurt - when can that be introduced (as an occasional treat)? Our chicks (Black Lace Wyandottes) are about a week old. Just on crumbles now - haven't introduced any grit yet...I want to socialize them early and gently; so far it's been minimal handling, moving quietly, resting my hand in the brooder once or twice a day with some crumble in it. They are very comfortable with that and already hop into my hand to eat. It's very calming after a busy day at work to come home and just watch them for a while. Had no idea we'd enjoy them so much. And this morning - pinfeathers on the tips of the wings, already. (How fun!!)
