Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens: Care / Feeding / Facilities by Gail Damerow is one of the best books on keeping chickens. She knows the subject thoroughly and describes everything well. This book covers chicks, feeding, feeders, housing, eggs, chicken health and even how to raise a bird for show.

There are many other books about raising chickens (Living with Chickens by Jay Rossier, American Poultry Association, and Geoff Hansen comes to mind) and I suggest you get two books so you can read two different approaches.
