Definitely! I've never had quail.
Just wondering if I should take the time to pluck or just skin them. What would you do?

I think most people skin them. I don't think it's a time issue, I believe that when you try plucking them the skin ends up tearing off anyway

I Pluck Them So As To Keep The Meat From Drying Out When Cooking... The Skin Is Tender And Does Tear Easily, But With A Lil Effort They Arent Hard To Pluck.
