I have both Storey guides you mentioned (those are great books). One I can definitely recommend is "Raising Chickens For Dummies". Not a lot of breed-specific info, but lots of great general knowledge about chickens. Also a good in-depth chapter about breeding & genetics. Available through this forum, and I've even seen it at TSC.
