Just wanted to know how many times a healthy puppy will poop every day. I would assume as many as times he ate, and some will go a lot more from what I've heard here.
Well my 8 week old puppy started raw on Saturday. He weights 8-9 lbs and is eating around 10-12 oz a day.
Before starting raw his stools looked good, hard... even though he had gone through an 8 hour flight. Since starting raw his stools are a lot softer (understandable). I don't have a problem with this, but he hasn't been going enough IMO. Yesterday he went 2 times, but the amount of poop was very minimal. It was soft, so I don't think he's constipated.
Today he hasn't gone and already ate 2 times (about 8oz of Cornish hens). Not sure if I'll feed him tonight if he doesn't go before.

In a normal puppy he will pee 8-10 times a day and poop 3-4 depending on breed, sex, stress, and exercise. Typically if he eats 3 times a day he will poop after every meal at that age.
Morning
Afternoon
Evening
and sometimes before bed.

Well I just took him out and he pooped. Although it wasn't much, it was more than yesterday, and I could actually grab it with the plastic bag in one piece.

Sounds like your puppy is just fine and doing an excellent job of digesting his raw food.
Yes, I feel very fortunate that he's doing so good (knock on wood). I feel sorry for all those people that want to do the best for their dogs by feeding raw and then have difficulties with it. I will hopefully be taking a video of him eating so you guys can see how well he does. It's a pretty amazing sight.
