I prefer skin on birds so I usually pluck them. Skinning is way faster. If you are going to bread and fry then skinning is fine. If you want to pan roast or grill I would pluck. The fat under the skin is delicious.
@Mantisquailman How much do your jumbos weight? Egg weight? I come down to your area a few times a year. I want to add some new jumbo genetics to my farm.
Cheers
