Forwarded for those of you in the UK but applicable everywhere; how is
this for false advertising?

This ebay seller is selling eggs from his silver wyandotte.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-silver-wyandotte-hatching-eggs_W0QQitemZ200067018433QQihZ010QQcategoryZ46292QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200067018433

(sorry that's so long)

How do you like this bird then?

Look about 2/3rds down the page and you will see the silver wyandotte
with the tin shed backing - lovely bird from Australia.

Wonder what the parent stock REALLY look like.

Caveat emptor.
Thanks to Andy Vardy at Backyard Poultry for bringing this to my attention.

Happens all the time
I have had a number of pictures from our sites ripped off over the years
Biggest problem is the only way you can get to the relevant department in
Ebay now is with a signed fax -- we don't own a fax machine

absolutely - you really would not want to hear some of the horror stories I
have heard about eggs from Ebay
-- and selling eggs on Ebay is still against the law in the UK
but hey ho -- that's life.

I know they work but have failed miserably to make it happen for me the few
times I have tried.
This is one of the VERY VERY few occasions when there has been no
alternative so its just not work my time to work out
Maybe one day I will fall across a program that behaves for me. Nothing has
made it a priority so far
