Yes. I am armed with both such tools. And if it were 9’ I think I could get them. But they are past my reach at over 10’.I have found a long handled shovel ( with the D grip) makes a great 'chicken lifter' off their roosts (read : branches)that are high! Between that and my very sturdy 2 step step stool, I can reach about 9'+ up! (ask me how I know)

And last night it was sweet Babs who led the flight into space. Eli looked like she might settle for the roost at 5’.
