The origin of the proverb "chickens in the fall is considered"
- Expression "Do not count your chickens before they are hatched" It has a very long history. Even the ancient Slavs engaged in agriculture noted that not all just hatched chickens have a chance of survival. There were different reasons for these: the chicks could “mow” hunger or illness, they could trample the “relatives” or the birds of prey.
- Spring and summer is the time when the chicks are born, but only autumn, when the chickens have already grown, could give the owner an accurate answer: how many chicken will be in his poultry house.
In the modern world, this proverb has acquired a new meaning. Often these “chickens” recall when they want to “besiege” a person who is in a hurry ahead of time to bring the world about his victory.
