All Cucco Locations in Kakariko Village
In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a farmer in Kakariko Village has lost seven Cuccos and needs Link to return them to their fenced area. Completing the task rewards you with an empty bottle, making it one of the most useful early activities in the game.
All seven birds can be found during your first visit to Kakariko Village, before entering Dodongo Cavern. You may collect them in any order, and the Cuccos can move around within their general areas, so use the descriptions below rather than relying on one exact position.

Cucco #1: Northern ledge
The first Cucco is on a ledge in the northern part of the village, close to a house. It may wander around to the front or rear of the building, so check both sides if it is not immediately visible.
Cucco #2: Wooden box near the house
South of the first Cucco, another bird is stuck inside a wooden box beside a house. Break the box with your sword or by rolling into it, then pick up the freed Cucco and carry it back to the fenced area.
Cucco #3: Path to Hyrule Field
The third Cucco roams along the path leading west from the village towards Hyrule Field. Search the western side of Kakariko Village if it has moved away from the position shown.
Cucco #4: Construction site
Look beneath the wooden scaffolding at the construction site for the fourth Cucco. After returning the bird, you can also climb to the platform above it to collect the Gold Skulltula.
Cucco #5: Brick pile
The fifth Cucco is perched on a pile of bricks in the southern-central section of the village. Fire one seed from your slingshot at it to make it fly down, then chase it, pick it up and take it home. One hit will not trigger a Cucco attack, provided you do not keep striking the bird.
Cucco #6: Behind the tall fence
The sixth Cucco is behind the tall wooden fence. To reach it, pick up another Cucco, climb the steps in front of the windmill and jump while holding the bird. Its flapping lets Link glide over the fence. Toss the first Cucco back over, then repeat the process with the sixth one.
Cucco #7: Near the windmill
Before leaving the fenced area, climb the ladder to the stone wall. The final Cucco wanders around the windmill. Return all seven birds to the farmer, and she will give Link an empty bottle.
Once you have completed this early collection quest, an arcade machine buying guide is a good place to explore if you are planning a dedicated retro gaming setup. RETROCADE also offers arcade machines, including full-size cabinets for classic game rooms.
