We are very cautious about anything that may look like Kodashim (Temple sacrifices)nowadays.

Hence, I believe virtually all customs avoid roast lamb Seder night, (and I have not heard of anyone using goat or ram for Kapparos).

The question is, does this extend to animals that cannot be used for the Passover offering such as roast beef?

Does it extend to roast chicken and turkey which are species that never were offered in the Temple?

According to this reasoning if you do not eat roast chicken the night of Nissan 15, you should not wave a chicken the morning of Tishrei 9.

In the end family minhag (custom) will triumph.

Custom or no custom this write up is getting me hungry for roast chicken for the seudah just before Yom Kippur!!!
