I have heard that before too that it is so common, but most people I know with chickens don't have any diseases. You are so right about having good ventilation, avoiding dust and ammonia odors, keeping dry conditions, and I also have read that avoiding excessive heat inside the coop may also help to avoid respiratory diseases.I can't imagine there's a 95% chance of having it. If that were true, I'd be in a very small minority. With anywhere from 10 to 125 birds at a time, over 30 breeds from various sources off and on over half a century, I guess I've been lucky.
I know it's common, especially in winter in large flocks. That tells me that good ventilation is vital. Also avoiding stress due to dust, ammonia, excessive worming, crowding, transporting, etc..
