Don't hatch your chickens

what does it mean?
  

Top answer

The saying is 'don't count your chickens before they hatch' often shortened to 'don't count your chickens'. If you are looking at a 10 eggs you shouldn't assume they will all hatch successfully and think that's the same as having 10 chickens. So it means that you shouldn't assume that one thing will always lead successfully to another.
