What a clucking tragedy. Parents in the posh Park Slope neighborhood shelled out more than $2,000 to cover medical bills for one of their kids’ schoolyard chickens — but it died anyway. Five-month-old hen Waffles died from egg-laying complications after she was rushed to an Upper East Side vet from PS 107’s “homestead” with a teacher forking over $2,100 out of her own pocket to try to save their feathered friend.
