Most books about poultry have chapters about breeds, varying in detail according to how big the book is generally. There are several poultry keepers forums and information websites as well, some of which have poultry book review sections. It depends how much detailed information you want really. There are also (surprisingly?) many really detailed books on single breeds. Try looking on Ebay & Amazon. I particularly recommend the poultry books I wrote, but then I would, wouldn't I ;-)
