hi oveione, congrats on your new pup
I would highly recommend joining the Yahoo list RawPup:
There is a load of great info on there with lots of experienced members to help you along.
I would personally switch pup straight over if he is liking it and start with chicken wings as your bones, as they are pretty easy for pups to get the hang of, you will likely be able to move very quickly onto whole chicken quarters as the bone-in meals once he gets the hang of the wings.
Stick with chicken for the first week or so to make sure he is ok on it and then start adding variety very gradually... you pretty much need to feed exactly the same as you would for an adult dog, just size appropriately and split across 3-4 meals a day at this stage. The only thing that pups tend to need a little more of is a slightly higher bone content. But join that group and you will be just fine
Good luck and looking forward to seeing those piccies!
