The Creation Expeditions Team Discovers Giant Duck-Billed Dinosaur
Flicitations ! Votre domaine a bien t cr chez OVHcloud !
Happened across this article. They claim that they have dispelled another "evolutionary" myth by proving that duck-billed dinosaurs did not have feathers!
From the article
Evolutionists theorize that the Edmontosaurus died millions of years ago, and some have recently speculated that this was a partially feathered type of dinosaur which eventually evolved into modern birds.
Has anyone ever heard of someone claiming a ornithischian dino was in the evolutionary path to birds? Either they are way too inexperienced to excavate and prepare a valuable fossil or they are writing the article to their funding audience/source who willing gulp it up.

Well, it is a pretty widely held belife that dinosaurs are the direct ancestors of birds. However, this has nothing to do with weather or not Jurasic dinosaurs had fethers, because fethers didn't start apearing till long after. Archeopterix is usualy the example given.
But there are a few non-flying dino fossils that indeed have shown feather imprints.

Here are some examples of fetherd dinosaurs as well as some general info on their evolution. Pretty pictures too

umm... yes it is a widely held belief and indeed probable that birds arose from the dromaeosauridae (raptors) which are a small clade of theropods.
However no where has anyone suggested that duck-bills (or more specifically Hadrosaurains which are member of Ornithopoda) are even remotely related. The article in question preposterously attempts to make the reader believe that they have set the record set and disproved a long held belief - which highlights either the authors dishonesty or ignorance (or both).
