Raising Chickens For Dummies is a wonderful book I have read it and it gives you an idea of what to expect 

when you go to buy your chicks and also gives you idea on how much space you will need to keep the amount of chickens you want...overall it is a wonderful book to get and I would say well worth your money. 

another similar book that is well worth your money would be Building Chicken Coops For Dummies.
it has all the important info you will need to know before building a coop or even before buying chicks.
