MADISON, Wis. -- Though she probably wouldn't mention this on her business card, Liz Perry is a chicken matchmaker.

One of the few, if only, people performing the worthy service in southern Wisconsin, Perry helps unwanted chickens find new homes -- homes where they will be egg-producing pets and not end up in a casserole dish.

MILWAUKEE -- The woman charged with cutting the late-term fetus from a young mother, with hopes of passing the baby off as her own, suffers from a multiple personality disorder, according to the report of a new mental exam.
