We have 26 acres so the hen house will be in an area away from the main house. What about 4-5 chickens? How big of a run?

If they are out, watch out for predators..dogs in the area, etc. Hawks will also get them

Look up Chicken Tractors and they have sites with plans to build just about any size and complexity you want to attempt.

Sometimes it's as simple as chicken wire on a rectangular wood frame with wheels so you can roll it around the yard when you move it and a lot of them have a chicken wire bottoms so the chickens can peck at the grass and bugs but nothing can get at them from underneath.
