Count your chicken...

They say dont count your chicken before they hatch.
I ask "What if the chicken die after hatching well?"

So when do we count them?

even if there is a subtle idea behind what you want to say, I find an irony...
they advise not to count your chickens before they hatch only because we are not sure how many will die even after hatching successfully.
Or I am wrong??

Well, the corollary to their statement would clear up your confusion I guess " Count your chickens only after they hatch"

Does it not contrast my statement? :)

I think now I got it...you mean to say that we can never say what will happen so there is no use worrying about it...
right?

Yeah, and I think the right time to count your chickens is RIGHT now!
You never know when one of them will die. :)
Cheerz!
