...Until you actually start counting them.

So remember, never count your chicks until they're hatched. Not now, not ever.

I knew this was going to be the title of a thread sometime today. It didn't go the direction I thought, however

You CAN get an accurate count after they're hatched. All you need is super glue or a staple gun to keep them from moving around. [Wink]

(Edited so it sounded like it did in my head, which is different than what I typed out.)

Or, you could do the thing I did when I was little while visiting my great grandma. Which was to take chicken after chicken, and hold them until they stopped moving. [Dont Know]

Kama proves once again that she is one scary chick! [Angst]

(I'm sure the survivors passed on the tale, and to this day the tale of "Kama the Destroyer" still strikes terror in the heart of chicks everywhere.)
