Second that, Artemis! Garlic, tobacco, soap, and if you have lots of hot chili peppers hanging around, grind them in as well. They also work wonders, and it's not just the snails that hate them, it keeps off other hungry insects too. Or, you could try the other approach: building a Snail&Slug Bar (a short drip-line under a board, with some cheep beer or better yet, a brewery byproduct they'd toss anyway, if you can get your hands on it. The snails will migrate from the whole area to congregate there, and all you have to do is just pick up the board and shake it into the chicken coop.
