So DH and I build a new chicken coop and run. All is good. I go outside at dark to close the run door like I always do. Not thinking. 2 of my dogs go with me. Like always. I get the door closed and go to leave. NOPE the run door had shut and I am locked in. My DH forgot to put a latch for me to get out. I stand out there in the dark yelling for someone to help me. Nobody comes. Of course my dogs are whining at me. After about 10 mins of yelling and trying to get out I open the run door again. I crawl through into the coop and unlatch the door. I was mad as a hornet. Come in the back door and slam it. DH says what is wrong with you. I tell him exactly what is wrong. (not nicely either). He says well what is the problem you got out didn't you. I tell him I could have been locked in their all night and nobody would even miss me. He says smiling I would have looked for you eventually. And laughed. Well needless to say he went outside with the flashlight and put the latch on for me to get out. I knew I would win. UUUUGGGHHHH.
Sorry I have to laugh and you will laugh about it too eventually!! Maybe if you had locked yourself in there closer to dinner time someone would have come out quicker!!! Sorry you got locked out there but glad you go out!!
I put cam bolts on mine, so I couldnt get locked in. Then my toddler started walking. He LOVES the cam bolts. Locked me in just last night, but at least now he is old enough to UN-latch it if I yell loud enough.
