The above statement should specify exactly how many Cuccos have to be hit for a Golden Cucco to appear. One can test this in-game, find gameplay footage that shows it, or find a reliable source – namely an official guide – that states the exact number. If it's found to be a random number or a range of numbers, specify that in the statement rather than leave it vague.
