Depends what you mean by “Chicago area” and what era.

I haven’t researched where the first yard was in the 1850s but the C&NW and CB&Q started to build a combined yard at Western Avenue but quickly abandoned building it and sold the materials to and participated in in the Chicago Union Stock Yards instead.

The “Sheep Yard’ at Montgomery AFAIK handled cows and other livestock and Clyde had small pens as well but they were in-transit facilities and not destination yards.
