If you’ve been neglecting some basic four-legged-friend maintenance, Saturday is your chance to make good. The ASPCA is hosting a block party and a day of free animal care in front of the Brooklyn Public Library at Grand Army Plaza. There will be neutering and spaying for all pets, free micro-chipping & vaccinations for pit bulls and pit bull-mixes, and a chance to talk to pet-care and pet-behavior experts. And the fun doesn’t end with humane sterilization. 
See an ad for “BROOKLYN CHICKS/ eggs eggs eggs” in a classified section, and you might assume it’s a call for NYU fertility subjects. Or maybe that was only back before big-city backyard farmers started landing top-name book deals. These days, you might well see the ad for what it is: an offer for a locally-laid breakfast. Urban chicken-keepers are hatching from their shells all over Brooklyn. What’s the draw? Some surprisingly likable pets and, of course, those incredible, edible eggs. Here’s a look at how one Brooklyn chicken-keeper does it.
