On October 3, 1967 Germany issued a set of four semi-postal charity stamps featuring scenes from the Brothers Grimm fairytale Frau Holle. The two high values (Mi #s 540-1) of this set, shown here, feature a rooster.

From wikipedia, "The tale was published by the Brothers Grimm in the first edition of Kinder- und Hausmaerchen Eng.: Children's and House Fairytales, published in 1812...Some details were added in the second edition (1819), most notably rooster's greetings."

Here is Finland's March 27, 1992 3.50 markka "Healthy Brains" stamp (Facit #65). So, is the man thinking about his pet chicken, or maybe the fried, baked, or barbecued variety?

This August 6, 1983 value (Mi #2821) of the DDR is from a set of five, 50 pf "city arms" stamps. Stamp depicts the arms of Frankfurt a. d. Oder, Brandenburg.

From heraldry-wiki.com, "the meaning or origin of the rooster is not clear, it may be simply a symbol of watchfulness...The whole composition already appears on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from 1294."
