Where is the proverb don't count your chickens before they hatched?

The saying "Don't Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch" is attributed to Aesop about 570BC in his fable "The Milkmaid and her Pail". It means don't count a lot on something happening when there are too many variables, because you will be disappointed when things don't come out as you would like. If you have a clutch of eggs, just looking at them you can't tell how many are fertile, which ones the babies will die in and how many will hatch successfully. Out of a group of 12 eggs you might only get 2 viable chicks or maybe none at all.
