It's a saying. Just because you have ten eggs, that doesn't mean they'll all hatch and you'll have ten chickens. So, don't assume you'll have ten chickens before they hatch. Don't assume everything will go well before you actually do it. Plan for the worst but hope for the best.

Hm. So you're going to need a pretty big stock, then. Probably best to conserve what there is, so whatever you're thinking of making, it's probably a good idea to keep the meat for yourself. Unless you can go hunting, anyway, but I'm not sure I'd trust that from what I've been hearing.
