I’ve heard from a few people that when they were young they watched the shechting process at kaparos, and haven’t been able to eat chickens since.
My minhag is to do kaparos with money and since I’ve been a little kid I can’t eat money.
Cool beanz
Go buy yourself a frozen chicken from the supermarket when you’re done. 😛

I could not do kaparos with a live animal. Show me the money!
Could you do Kaparos with a crash test dummy?
I don’t think that if you eat the chickens you will get the aveiros of the person who did his kaparos on them.
Pixelate: There are no avairos in the chickens after they are shechted, Missa Michaperes.
Until relatively recently, one usually bought the chicken LIVE and brought your chicken to the shochet, and then brought it to the person who checked it, and then took it home and butchered it. Frum girls learned how to do this, as it was typically part of being a housewife. This was normal back in the early 20th century.
Today, virtually no one knows what to do with a dead animal until its been properly butchered, salted and packaged. That is the complication with live kapores since few people can have their chicken killed and then redeem (or gift it), and expect it to be served shortly.

I do kaparos with a cow.
If you do aveiros after Tashlich and kaparos do you have to do them again?

WIY, I have a couple of ?s – How do you wave that cow?
What will you do when, byz”H, your wife will be pregnant?
What do you do if it has an “accident” in the middle?
I did learn how to kasher chickens in school, and when I was in camp we went on a trip to a shechita house to learn from watching the process. It’s not true that girls can’t handle it- everyone enjoyed the trip very much, and ate the chicken that night no problem.
