The field of milkweed I was in had no butterflies of any kind. It had just started blooming. I don't know how long it will take monarchs to find a new stand of milkweed. I think the move along certain paths of migration. I didn't get any at my TN home but a few miles away there were many.

I'd like a border all around our property that looks like this

Like these? These came to a butter fly garden that had Mexican Sunflowers. I want to plant a border around my property here in AL with milkweed as an perennial and Mexican sunflowers as an annual.

I think that is another wives tale. I know people always want to know early for different reasons but the only way to know for sure most of the time is to breed sex links or auto sexing breeds.

Over half have hatched. Colorful brood.

I need to go back and check on the lock down box. The first one pipped not long ago. Got the humidity up over 75% so hoping for no shrink wrapping.

Rascal you can play but no pecking eyes or pulling out tail down.

Sleep well little ones. You can play tomorrow.

I think you are doing a good job with Dinky. Just keep him warm and full of nutrition and water. There isn't anything more that I can think of to help him along. His being with a couple of his cell mates would help. I think someone else mentioned this earlier. He probably wouldn't do well with...

At least 2 more for starters.

I would from what I see. How many days has he been in the incubator? It takes them longer than a chicken does.

Rascal behave yourself. No jumping out of the hotel you are staying at now.

I'm so glad so many have hatched. It appears the % of hatch is quite good.

I hope Rascal found his/her way out of the shell.

Well the sun should be out here after lunch. Ma is not feeling well at all so I'm staying in with her. The coops are good until early afternoon. Meanwhile I'll check for news every so often. Good Morning Rascal. You behave now.

At least he has made his/her presence known.

Goodnight Rascal. It's time to get your act together.

Waiting and watching for Rascal to emerge....

I need to exchange my incubators for broody hens that do it all.

Take a nap and wake up to fluff.
