You can compound Barley from chickens.

Barley + Barley = Steamed Bun or Flour
Steamed Bun + Steamed bun = Steamed bun or flour or Noodles.

Flour + steamed bun or barley = Noodles.

^ not 100% but if you do that you can do compounding + get noodles which can be used to make Meats Noodles when you get a glaze table (+800 HP)
