Yes, that would be considered free range. Many egg laying hens spend their life in a cage so small they cant even turn around. On your acre they would have a place to roam and scratch and dust themselves. Things chickens do naturally. The number of sheds you have should depend on the size of the shed. The birds will naturally roost together for safety, so you may consider one extra large shed or at least 2 good sized sheds.
