"One day chicken and the next day feathers" = Một ngày làm gà và ngày sau chỉ còn lại những cọng lông -> Những điều quý giá/điều mà chúng ta trân trọng có thể dễ biến mất một cách chóng vánh.

Ví dụ
Chicken one day, feathers the next, as the saying goes. But in the case of a member of an Oklahoma co-op, it was still chicken the next day, thanks to quick-thinking line crews (toàn bộ thủy thủ, ban nhóm).

Since we have an extra weekend day on Monday, check out the Chick-fil-A 5K on September 2nd benefiting Junior Achievement of Memphis. You've heard it's chicken one day and feathers the next — this event is all chicken with a post -ace party at AutoZone Park.

This phrase, “Chicken One Day and Feathers the Next” was used by my grandmother to express how life was always giving her something that looked real good, hence the “chicken” and then spoiled (cướp đoạt) her good fortune (or what she perceived (nhận biết) as good) with nothing more than the “feathers”.
