I've heard that some people are concerned that featherless chickens are at risk of freezing to death due to lack of integument, so perhaps if we created a genetically-engineered facsimile of a particular non-avian dinosaur which left no traces of feathers behind in the fossil record, we could tell that it had them in real life if our first attempts show signs of bad health due to low temperatures?
