So I got locked in the chicken coop today.
Not long, maybe two minutes.
But those 2 minutes seemed like a lifetime!
I walked in to give the birds watermelon and as the door shut the tiny latch came down shut.
There is a cover on the whole thing and the outside pen was hot.
I freaked a bit. Didn't even have my phone and no one was home.
I reached one finger through the wire and lifted the latch. It wasn't an easy reach.
When informing my husband of my adventure, he quipped "well at least you had watermelon if you wanted it"

I've had that happen before, only it was another family member who latched the coop while I was inside, thinking someone had left the door unlocked.

Haha! We have an indoor latch on the inside of the coop door which allows me to lock it while I'm inside. Unfortunately, from the outside, it looks like the door is unlatched.
