Chicken Backs VS Chicken Necks??

I went to pick up my order for 160lbs of chicken backs yesterday and when i got home all 4 boxes were chicken necks. None of the dogs has a problem chewing them or anything but from my understanding the meat/bone ratio is different. Is this going to throw anything off. I did call and let them know what happened and that I prefer the backs not the necks and they assured me my next order would be correct. My question is will feeding them exclusively chicken necks with no backs this go round (about a month)still give them the correct amount of bone? They will still get their marrow bones and fish. Thanks everyone!:)

There's nothing wrong with feeding the necks. The calcium-
phosphorus ratio is about 1:1. My girl loves the necks, but my
cases come mixed and generally have more backs then necks. I
cut the backs into strips with poultry shears so she THINKS she's eating necks, clever aren't I? Generally the chx necks are small so you'll have to feed alot of them to make up the wts you need.
And you're giving marrow bones just for recreation purposes, right?
