   Recently a friend of mine and I went to an antique store.  I have an odd sense of humor and found an antique and very beautiful postcard with a couple embracing (kissing actually...which was suggestive for THOSE days).  Probably from the '20s.  The caption was "Are you a Duck or a Rooster"....what does that mean?
   
   This continues to be an ongoing and inside joke between her and I. If we ask one another a question and don't have an answer we go "I don't know....are you a duck or a rooster?"
   
   I have found this post card so charming, I framed it and it's in my home office where I can look at it and laugh because it is just so nonsensical
   
   Please interpret

   Sounds like they were into some freaky stuff in the 20's.

      i think it means ducks are followers and roosters are leaders.

   Could it be to do with this Childrens Rhyme:
   
   It'd take me a minute to tell you this rhyme
   Of the duck and the rooster that I knew one time
   A little duck hatched out a day or two late
   His mama had already gone to the lake
   
   The little red rooster had broken his foot
   So I put him into a little ole coop
   The little white duck was left out on his own
   So I put them together until they were grown
   
   Well the duck thought the rooster was limping and lame
   The rooster believed that the duck was the same
   And so they were pals in the coop in the barn
   They huddled together when it came a storm
   
   Well the weeks they went by and the little guys grew
   The little duck quacked and the rooster cocky dooed
   The duck loved the water and the rooster would scratch
   And neither one knew why they acted like that
   
   
   Well one day I turned them both free on the farm
   The rooster went straight to a roost in the barn
   The little duck went to the lake for a swim
   They liked different things even though they were friends
   
   Well now you should hear them when they say hello
   Though it may sound funny I know that it is so
   I know that is strange but I'll tell you it's true
   When they talk they go quacky doodle do
