A hundred yards would put parts of a 4 acre site out of range?

Depends on the shape of the plot and where the henhouse is.

In the centre of a square plot, no.

depending on whether it's 4 English Irish or Scottish acres

No. For one thing, Scottish and Irish acres are archaic and no longer
used, and though they are larger, (by about half as much again and just
a tad more than that, respectively) what I said still holds true. (Yes I
did the calculations)

At one end or corner of a rectangular plot, lots of it.

a circular plot with the hen house in the middle would be optimum :-)

And how many of those do you get per square mile?
