Rats in chicken coop

I'm finding rat droppings in my nesting boxes. I'm sure they are getting into the coop at night to eat chicken feed. Any suggestions on rat killer/ poison that won't be harmful to the chickens?

Chickens will kill mice, they must be pretty brave.

Store feed in trash can with locking lid.
Pick up any uneaten feed at night.

I have a raised coop and had similar issues, I screened in under the coop and that is where there food is now - easiest fix remove open food and water from coop, generally speaking they are either laying or roosting so there is no need for it in the coop.
