The keel is the large bone you see when you eat a roasted chicken and pull the breast meat away from the large flat bone that looks like the keel of a boat. The keel is the "breast bone"....flattened and elongated in birds to give a place for the wing muscles to attach...allowing more power for flight. It is also used to check how healthy a bird is....if you can feel the keel easily and it seems to be protruding, the bird is underweight. If you can feel solid muscle and body weight on either side, making the keel just a line found between muscles if you can find it at all, then the bird is eating alright and keeping weight.
