Yes, I cook my chicken & sausage, then remove & use the drippings with additional oil to make my roux…

Exactly. I do like smoked chicken too.

Sometimes I do sometimes I don’t. Doesn’t impact either way that I have found.

I make my stocks beforehand when I buy 10 lb. bags of leg quarters. I'll part them out and use the small pelvic cutoff they always leave on the end of the thigh to make my stock. On average, a 10 lb. bag of leg quarters will have about 10 such pieces and that will make a good 2 quarts worth of rich stock.
As for browning the chicken, yes, I season the chicken, brown it off in a bit of oil and then brown off my sausage. Then I do the roux using a bit more oil and then the trinity before putting the gumbo together to simmer.

I put the sausage in the oven to get the grease out... The first time I did it was a blessing because the sausage, that I pulled from the freezer, was a little bad... Didn't smell right... Browning the chicken doesn't sound like a bad idea like in the same pot before you cook the roux....

Brown it down in a little Chicken Stock.

I boil whole chicken(s) to make my broth (stock is not quite the same), then debone and reserve the meat to add back later.

Yes.
Deglaze pot with chicken broth, then add that liquid to the bowl holding the chicken and sausage.
Once all the veggies and full amount of broth are together and simmering, I add the protein back in, and it becomes a 4-hour party.

I'll typically roast a whole chicken, then use all the carcass and skin for the stock.

I either fry my chicken or roast in the oven for a bit. If I fry, I use that oil to make the roux. If I roast, all the drippings and what not get added to the pot.

I grill or smoke my thighs.
I roast my chicken bones and turkey necks and then simmer them for my stock.

I don't brown it, but I put the chicken in the oven, in a broiling pan on 350 for about 15 minutes to cook some of the fat off.
