@memmays....Hope you get much pleasure in rearing the Monarchs, I have. You may see something that looks like a dead caterpillar from time to time, it is where they shed their skin. (first pic) It is also good that you are counting them when you clean their cage so you don't toss one out, especially when there are a lot in the cage. (been there done that)
@juhur7 - As long as there is room it is fine, they are together in your garden. Only caution is if one is sick they may all get sick. I like to use smaller cages to watch them closer, and to take better pictures. (last pic) I use Glad containers, cut a hole in the lid and cover with a fine mesh tricot, tacking it at four corners to hold it in place.
