Many, many dogs get diarrhea or soft stool for the first few days/week when they start raw; it's pretty normal.

I would actually strongly recommend that you just go 100%, "cold turkey" so to speak.

Having some bone would very likely help with the runny poop.

You may also consider a probiotic to help support good digestive function.
I agree grains take up to 72 hours to digest from my research, and meat is pretty quick you may get some bloating if mixed grains and raw.
