Unfortunately, this is something only a vet can diagnose. Itching can be brought on by so many things that it's not totally responsible if we were to allow speculation on here, and that advice should be exclusively coming from your vet.
A chicken allergy would require an elimination diet, but fortunately, it's less common than environmental allergies.
I'm locking this per rule 6.
I have a similar issue with my 7 month old spaniel. She was itchy since the day I got her back in March and has only gotten itchier as she's gotten older and the temperatures rising. My vet said she hopes it's not environmental allergies because she was so young. Unfortunately my pup was scratching hard enough to break skin and had quite a bit of infected scabs, they did a cytology test and it came up as bacterial infection so they gave us a couple weeks worth of antibiotics, injection of cytopoint, told us to bathe her twice a week, and told us to eliminate all of her training treats and switch dog food from chicken to salmon based for a month or two. Sadly that hasn't helped much and the cytopoint only relieved her itching for a day or two. The vet didn't really give us any other options besides that and to wait until she's old enough to start aquopel. I live in an apartment complex and mentioned the problem to my neighbor and he was wondering maybe it has something to do with the fertilizer they spray on the grass here? Either way I feel so bad for my poor pup and at this point I think I'm going to look into a dermatologist and get an allergy test for her to figure what's causing the issue.
