Just curious where you heard that? I'm no expert on commercial poultry operations, but that sounds like perhaps the standards for commercial raisers.
Are you planning to free range them or give them space in a run? Or just keep 23 chickens in a 6 x 8 coop? If so, I think you better plan on several quarantine cages because you'll probably have to separate the ones who get their feathers picked off and bloodied.
