I'm hunting mink and in the market for some replacement ducks
Anyone have eggs or hatchlings right now? In one night we lost all our poor ducklings and several chickens.

I didn't know you had mink down in your area. Wild ones anyways... SORRY TO HEAR YOUR LOSS.

 

[LinaNate]

I didn't either Live and learn right?

Here is a link to the fairgrounds. It is in Northern Illinois. 75 miles southwest of Chicago. Give or take. on the mileage.
Structured like a flea market of sort.

For those that go to the kankakee swap: How do you handle biosecurity when you return? Also, do they frequently have hatching eggs (or mainly chicks)?

I quarantine anything I buy . I usually do not sell . They start way too early for me . Hard to get a spot to sell if you are not there in line when they open the gates . There usually are eggs and chicks . You never know what will be there .

Yes mink are all over IL. Weasel's will kill poultry also. Were they eaten or just killed? I think weasels will just suck the blood. Good luck catching it.
