They do not have to state it; they are implying it. Anyone seeing that ad would infer that the rooster pictured is the sire/breeder used for those eggs. It's a form of "bait and switch".

I didn't read it, but seriously if someone was shopping for eggs and looked at the pic's - they would just assume that the rooster was owned by the folks running that auction - I know I would ! thats what pictures are for, so you can see what a person is selling..

Hello! Have you ever bid on eggs from Ebay?!?! You don't have to state something to make people believe that is what your selling. Have you ever heard the phrase, a picture's worth a thousand words? There 'ya go!

They didn't state it, it's inferred. If there are pics that AREN'T their stock ethically they should state that the pic is an example and not an actual roo of theirs. When shopping for cars people who list sometimes use an *example* pic but state it is NOT the actual vehicle. To not state that it is an *example* would constitute fraud. I don't see why it would be any different in this case.

Or they could be illustrating what Buff Orpington chickens look like when full grown. I have reread the ad three times and there is no fraud in strictly legal terms. The sellers are not saying anywhere that the rooster in question is the father of eggs being sold. Unethical and misleading...maybe.
I guess I like to look at things from a different perspective...if it was my BO rooster and someone wanted to use the picture because it was an excellent example of a BO...or a good photo, I would be happy to see soemone use it as long as they were not being fraudulent.

Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by governments, giving the creator of an original work of authorship exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time, after which the work enters the public domain. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other, related rights. It is an intellectual property form (like the patent, the trademark, and the trade secret) applicable to any expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete.
Copyright initially was conceived as a way for governments in Europe to restrict printing; the contemporary intent of copyright is to promote the creation of new works by giving authors control of and profit from them.
Copy rights have been internationally standardized, lasting between fifty to a hundred years from the creator's death, or a finite period for anonymous or corporate creations; some jurisdictions have required formalities to establishing copyright, most recognize copyright in any completed work, without formal registration. Generally, copyright is enforced as a civil matter, though some jurisdictions do apply criminal sanctions.
Most jurisdictions recognize copyright limitations, allowing "fair" exceptions to the creator's exclusivity of copyright, and giving users certain rights. The development of the Internet, digital media, computer network technologies, such as peer-to-peer filesharing, have prompted reinterpretation of these exceptions, introduced new difficulties in enforcing copyright, and inspired additional challenges to copyright law's philosophic basis. Simultaneously, businesses with great economic dependence upon copyright have advocated the extension and expansion of their copy rights, and sought additional legal and technological enforcement.

I tend to agree. They didn't state that the rooster pictured is the daddy....BUT they are also not stating that the rooster is NOT the daddy. Therefore, they are deceiving whoever is looking to bid on the item. It could be possible that they have no camera and wanted to post pictures of what the potential chicks will eventually look like. But, seriously, who these days is selling on the internet and doesn't have access to a camera?
Unless you copyrite your pictures or put a watermark on them, you're game for anyone who's looking for great pictures. That's the way the internet is unfortunately - most people are nice enough to ask for use of the photo, or at least give the photographer credit in a caption, but not everyone. I would suggest using a program to add a watermark or a byline to all of your photos before uploading them to the internet. Good luck!
