"Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."

It means: don't depend on something that hasn't yet happened.

The saying originates from farmers. All chickens come from eggs, but not all eggs produce chickens. So just because you have a cause that SHOULD produce an effect, doesn't mean that the effect is guaranteed to happen.
