Put on gloves, wear long pant and long sleeved shirt, get some clippers and cut all vines where they climb the perimeter walls - no need to climb up on the roof.
The cut vines will die, can be pulled down then. Mow the area around the coop if at all possible to make on-going weed control easier.
Try to trace the vines to their source. If you do not want to use round-up (one of the more benign wedd-killers, with few residual effects) you can use straight white vinegar, but you will need to find the crown of the plants (where the vine mets the roots).
