Barley has a hook like hull that can and does become imbedded in the crop of chickens/poultry, setting up irritation and causing death. I would not trust barely even if it was sprouted unless the hulls/chaff is removed. I cannot remember the whys of barley in feed but there are better grains. There is info about barely in the 1000 calif things about agriculture- an old time book, in our links.
