Transition to meatier chicken or new protein?

Hi. We started Delilah on raw on 4/26. She's pretty much had the same menu consisting of chicken backs, necks, feet, heart and gizzards. Most of this being the back and necks. She never got the squirts and really enjoys her meals now. For the next phase I am a bit confused. Some posts say keep her on chicken for another 2-3 weeks and some say to start adding in one new protein. Her poop is a nice light tan and about thumb sized and she's eating about 2.5 lbs split into two meals.

Does she need to start getting more chicken "meat" and less bone or start adding in the new protein (assuming turkey or pork) and less bone?

Approx whats her percentage of bone on a daily basis? If you've got her down to 10% bone then absolutely go ahead and introduce a new protein. If she's not down to 10% bone then work her down to more meat and less bone
