If you count your chickens before theyve hatched, they wont lay an egg. — © Bobby Robson
If you count your chickens before theyve hatched, they wont lay an egg.
People who count their chickens before they are hatched act very wisely because chickens run about so absurdly that it's impossible to count them accurately.
Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.
Don't count your chickens before they egg.
Many count their chickens before they are hatched; and where they expect bacon, meet with broken bones.
I count absolutely no chickens before they're hatched. In fact, I assume they're all dead in their shells, inside their eggs.
I've never counted my chickens before they've hatched.
I haven't checked, but I highly suspect that chickens evolved from an egg-laying ancestor, which would mean that there were, in fact, eggs before there were chickens. Genius.
You never count your chickens before they hatch. I used to keep parakeets and I never counted every egg thinking I would get all eight birds. You just hoped they came out of the nest box looking all right. I'm like a swan at the moment. I look fine on top of the water but under the water my little legs are going mad.
The plan of "counting the chickens before they are hatched" is an error of ancient date, but it does not seem to improve by age.
Never count your chickens before you can stick a fork into them.
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
My biggest faults is that the faults I was born with grow bigger each year. It's like I was raising chickens inside me. The chickens lay eggs and the eggs hatch into other chickens, which then lay eggs. Is this any way to live a life? What with all these faults I've got going, I have to wonder. Sure, I get by. But in the end, that's not the question, is it?
Don't count your boobies until they are hatched.
Sometimes people count their chickens before they hatch.
My Chicken can do a special trick! "And what is that?" She can lay an egg! "And what's so special about THAT?!" Well, Can YOU lay an egg?
