For optimal crappie stocking, a pond should be at least 4 to 6 feet deep to provide adequate habitat and temperature regulation. Deeper areas (around 8 to 10 feet) can also enhance the environment by offering cooler water in summer and preventing winterkill. Additionally, having varied depths and structures like submerged brush can improve crappie habitat and increase survival rates.
Yes, this is one problem with crappie.
It needs to be atleast 2 ft deep if you want to keep the fish in the cold weather however i would suggest going much deeper to be on the safe size, a small pond can have steep sides to dig to about 3 ft and there will be no problems with the fish in cold weather, other than that it is not important how deep the pond is, as long as they can swim freely.
statues of birds will usually deter an egret. also, your pond should be deep enough for the koi to stay out of range, at least 36 inches deep. i have rock ledges in my pond for the fish to hide under. if your pond has a ledge, fill it with plants so there is nowhere for the bird to stand.
they can be shallow or deep.
No. You cannot make that decision on your own. You should inquire at your town offices. You may be violating certain town laws by introducing a new species to the pond, especially if you don't own the pond. Their input will assist you with your answer.
If the pond is not deep, the fish can leave the pond. It is important to take good care of them or they will be tempted to leave.

A pond with sloped sides is necessary to allow for the frogs to get in and out of the pond easily. Using a flexible pond liner so that the pond slopes from shallow to deep is advisable.
If the pond is uniformly 6-feet deep it would contain about 1,955,109 gallons of water.
