I'd like to pluck in duck hunting camp before returninig home. Would this work with a good cordless drill?

The skin of hunted bird is already demaged, so plucking machine will keep ripping it. Also, to get a good result, you have to scald a bird before plucking it and it's recommended to start this process not later that 5 min after a bird was killed. So you have to pluck a bird as soon as possible after it was shot. This machine can help you to take off the feathers, but the skin won't look nice anyway. If it's OK for you, use a drill at law speed. Thank you for you question!

What temperature is better to scald quails and chickens?

For chickens: 140-149 F – 2,5-3min For quails: 153-158 F – 30-40 sec. Feather retention force depends on poultry’s age, feed, climate and other factors. Therefore, every time before massive slaughter, scalding temperature and duration should be chosen on a case-by-case basis. Scalding container should be big enough to keep the water temperature on the same level after you put a bird inside of it (at least 30l to scald one chicken or 20l to scald 7-10 quails). Stir the birds in the water for uniform scalding from all sides. If while plucking not all the feather removed, it is necessary to rise the temperature or increase the duration of scalding. If the skin damaged, it is necessary to decrease the temperature or reduce the time of scalding.

Can I pluck quails dry?

With scalding, feather removes better. Moreover, while plucking, wet feather does not disturb as much as dry one.
