We actually did, they very seldom got off the ground, just enough to force you to put a cage on top and get into trees when you need to catch them but besides that they stay on the ground
They are ground birds so they spend most of their time on the ground, similar to turkeys and grouse. Domesticated chickens fly a bit less because of breeding for more meat. However, to say they can’t fly is just not true. A better choice would have been; a kiwi, steamer ducks, cassowary, kakapo, weka, takahe, or an emu.
They can but they don’t, so maybe you should watch your mouth.
I take it that you’ve never had chickens.

We find ours in trees all the time, plus they’ll happily fly over their fence to wander around the property.
