Flaked Barley

I'm going to be making a beer that calls for flaked barley in the recipe. Do I crush this along with the other grains or use it as is? It also calls for naked oats. Am I correct in assuming that I crush these as well?

You could crush them. I've used flaked corn and flaked wheat before and the LHBS usually crushes it with the rest of the grains, and haven't had any adverse effects.

I use flaked barley and have never crushed it, guy at my LHBS told me not to so I never have. Not sure it makes a difference, but that's just how I do it

I've never crushed any flaked grains.
