Question of the Day - Tuesday, June 17th, 2025

Today's question is from @Lacy Duckwing:

Yes! I have one coop that cannot be opened from the inside, and every now and then, I get locked in. To get out, I have to find a long feather, bend it in half, then stick the bend through the wire and open the latch. Guess I should fix that.
It's one of these:

We used to have those same latches on my coop doors and I got locked in a few times LOL so then my dad installed wires in both of them going to the inside so we could get out LOL

No. We have one of those idiot latches, not on the door to the coop, but on the gate to the little pen around the coop. It has a wire attached to the little hole, and that wire is fed back through the gate to the inside so if you pull on it you can open the gate even if you were careless enough to allow the gate to shut behind you and latch itelf shut. Hmm. Probably time to replace that spindly little wire with something a little sturdier.

A baby possum somehow got locked in our coop with baby chicks once.

Nope. I've locked other people inside though
