Due to the Chassidization of Yiddishkeit, it has become the "in thing 
to do" Kapporas with chickens. However, I have always done Kapporas 
with money. I am 99.9% sure that Rav A. Miller did it with money.

My father-in-law has stopped doing it with chickens, because he has 
seen the way the chickens are mishandled.

Someone told me that he saw cases of chickens left out in the sun 
over Yom Kippur. They all died! Given the abuse that the chickens 
suffer, I would think that people would wake up and do Kapporas with money.
