An acre for a handful of hens is a lot
Try electric netting to create a protected large enclosure from your pen

With a little skill you can make a small area go a long way
Birds like space and a place to wander. But they do not need a whole acre
They do like new places.
Electric netting can give you this.
A 50 metre net will give you an area which can include trees. shrubs dust 
areas all sorts of goodies
Move it every 4 - 8 weeks depending on your ground and weather and give them 
somewhere new
