It is a fused clavical bone found in birds. Is usually a Y shape.

Most people like to make a WISH on the bone, then pull it apart, thinking whoever pulls the bigger of the Y, their own wish will come true.

It is a common name referring to the furcula, a y-shaped bone in birds and some other animals. If you ever seen people holding a bone and pulling it to see which side has the upper part, you are looking at a wishbone.

The average chicken only has one wishbone. This bone is scientifically known as the clavicle and is the bone that allows for the chicken to hold their head up.

A wishbone is a bone in a turkey that is shaped like a V. Often people break them in half, and who ever gets the bigger piece gets to make a wish.

Do chickens you buy at the grocery store have wishbones?

All whole chickens you buy at the grocery store have wishbones. You can find them buried beneath the front of the breast meat, attached at the pointed end to the large keel-bone (or breast bone) and at the tips of the wide end to each of the wing bases. Wishbones are easier to find once the chicken is cooked, as the meat then separates from the bones more easily. In split chicken breasts, only one half of the wishbone is present; it is broken during the preparation process. The wishes from these bones have already been used by the butchers and can not be recovered, even if the two original halves can be identified and put together again.
