The growing season there will be much less than in the south, because fish will be lethargic in cooler water and if there isn't enough warmth to digest a meal they will choose to not eat....also, a fish will only grow to the size of their environment....in a small overpopulated pond the fish will be stunted in their growth....just like fish in an aquarium....

Is your suggestion based just on cost?

Mostly but for disease & parasite concerns as well but if you don't have any close by, I guess you have no recourse except bait shops.

Mint, 2017 Exchequer Leghorn finally laid her first egg for the season, I think the machinery needs a bit of adjustment. Maybe that means her "sister" Oreo will start up soon.

It has been my experience that once the shell is removed ya will never know there is/was a difference....

@Bruce maybe @Rammy likes shells in her eggs. That's how she gets her calcium from. @Rammy
