This is VERY important! I went in to put my chickens to bed and cuddle with them a bit at around 6:30. I just escaped now. It turns out I closed the door a little hard and the latch locked into place. I wanted to come inside because I was getting cold and I really had to pee. I shoved the door and it didn't budge. I knelt down on the ground and yelled for my family to rescue me for about ten minutes. I waited and waited and nobody came. I had luckily left a boogie board propped up against a wall from the first day I had the coop so I could sit on the ground. I laid on that for about an hour and a half. I just couldn't hold it any longer, so I looked around for the obsolete water dish to pee in then dump out the wire pop door. Just then, my dad opened the door and found me with my belt undone and my fly down about to flash my chickens. He looked at me and said, "What the H--- are you doing?" I ran to him and gave him a hug and then ran inside to pee. I was afraid I would have to spend the night out there and tomorrow is picture day! It was...an experience. That latch is going to be fixed soon.
