so i finally found a meat shop to get necks, livers, hearts ect. not to expensive. well athena has up until this point been only on chicken...easiest to get thus far. since i know she is used to chicken i kept that as half of what i give her per meal, and added beef...heart to be exact. started yesterday...only about a pound mayabe less. this morning diarrhea. its not water, still pudding like. havent fed her yet today. dont know weather or not to feed today, to feed just chicken; and should i not give anymore heart for a few weeks?

Too much new.
Instead of half a meal, think smaller.
I don't know how big she is, or how much she is eating per meal, so it is hard to make a recommendation. Let me know that, and we'll try to establish some kind of starting point.
Roughly, I'd probably only toss in an 1/8 of the meal as a new item. Just a small piece. If that goes well, add a little more. Wait a poop or 2 before increasing.
You'll probably find that you add a little, then a little more the next meal, a little more the next meal, and then are able to do whatever within the confines of your pups preferential meat to bone.

1 pound of beef heart is A LOT....
The more experienced raw feeders will help you get rid of the diarrhea, I'm sure. I personally don't know if rice/boiled which is warranted here, or is the diarrhea will resolve once the heart if out of her system. I don't know enough about raw.... except that 1lb seems to be waaayyyy to much organ meat for one meal, especially when you are first introducing it.

On to the poop.
Was there urgency? Did it stay formed, just softer?
Probably a safe bet to skip a meal or 2. And yes, back to what you were feeding that worked. Once all is back to normal, you can try adding in a small amount of the new food.

Missed that number! 
Yes. That's a lot of new, and for sure a lot of beef heart for a first timer.
