What works REAL good around here is real simple called get some Fox Urine from a Hunting store. Spray that around the area. Make them think something BIGGER and meaner than them lives here. Kinda like my dog found out when a long time ago at the old Tiger Truck Stop when he Barked at the Big Kitty cat there wel sucker Growled at him. Now imagine a daucshound leaping 6 feet into the cab of a truck. That was what he did that day. He also stopped chasing cats for some reason.
This would be my suggestion as well. You can get fox or coyote urine at Hunting Stores.

Downside would be if there are foxes or Coyotes in the area it can attract them

If these are domestic cats running stray odds are they wont know the scent is so why would they fear it?

It actually works quite well. I have advised clients to use it with much sucess on several occasions to keep neighbor's cats from using their flower beds as litter boxes. Downside. After a heavy rain you usually need to reapply it. If you keep it up for about 4 weeks the cats usually avoid the area for good.
Not sure it will work perfectly for chicken coop, but worth a try.
