This Zelda: Ocarina of Time guide details how you can find all seven Cucco Chickens hidden around Kakariko Village and return them to their pen. You will need to explore different parts of the village, break a crate, and use a Cucco to reach a couple of the more difficult locations. Completing the task rewards you with an Empty Bottle.
Cucco Chicken Locations Guide – Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Head to the Kakariko Village location marked on the map and find the woman standing near the Cucco pen. Speak with her, and she will ask you to track down seven missing Cucco Chickens.
Whenever you find one, pick it up and carry it back to the pen. Throw it inside before moving on to the next location.
First Cucco – On the Brick Pile
Look for a pile of bricks nearby with a Cucco sitting on top. Use your slingshot to hit it and knock it down. Once it falls, collect it and take it back to the pen.
Second Cucco – Near the Construction Building
The next Cucco is close to the building under construction. Look around this area to find it, then pick it up and return it to the pen.
Third Cucco – Western Entrance
Make your way towards the western side of the village, near the beginning of the area. You will find another Cucco wandering around. Collect it and place it inside the pen.
Fourth Cucco – Eastern Side of the Village
Head towards the opposite side of the village and move in the direction of the gate at the top. Before reaching the gate, look around the pathway for a roaming Cucco. Pick it up and bring it back. You can also use a carried Cucco to glide across gaps and reach lower areas, which will come in handy later.
Fifth Cucco – Inside a Crate
Return to the central square and look for a wooden crate. Break it by hitting it a few times, and you will discover another Cucco hidden inside. Pick it up and deliver it to the pen.
The remaining two Cuccos require a slightly different approach. You will need to borrow one of the Cuccos you have already collected to reach the necessary areas.
Sixth Cucco – Behind the Fence
Head towards the windmill, passing the well along the way. Climb the stairs leading to the red door at the bottom of the windmill. From here, use a Cucco to glide over the nearby fence. Once you reach the other side, you will spot another Cucco below you. Pick it up and throw it over the fence for now.
You will also need to get the previously collected Cucco across the fence, so make sure both are on the other side before continuing. Do not jump back just yet.
Seventh Cucco – At the Top of the Ladder
Look for a ladder inside the enclosed section near the fence. Climb it to reach the upper area, where you will find the final Cucco.
Pick it up and make your way back down. You can now return to the pen and place the remaining Cucco Chicken inside it.
Once all seven Cucco Chickens have been returned, speak with the woman near the pen again. She will reward you with an Empty Bottle, which you can use to collect bugs.
