Count by the Dozen
You can apply Count Your Chickens Before They're Hatched Day pretty much anywhere for anything.
You can literally count your chickens while they're still in their shells.
If you have recently purchased a bunch of games, you can count the playing pieces before you take off the shrink wrap.
If today is also your birthday, count your presents before they're unwrapped.
Or you can get all metaphysical or theoretical and count your ideas before they come to fruition.
The phrase that this day is taken from - Don't count your chickens before they're hatched - really should be this: Don't count your chicks before they're hatched. Chicks come from eggs, not full-grown chickens.
It's a small technicality, yes, but it's true.
So count your chicks today.
