hmmm... it may have started as an allergy and has now turned into habit- he just assumes his feet are going to be itchy.
Well, if I were you I would still get rid of the chicken- it is a very very common allergen in foods (oh, i don't THINK solid gold has corn or wheat- but just double check- also very common allergens). Then I would go buy some bitter apple and put that on his feet to deter him or (tough call because if he IS itchy- he is going to want to scratch) try and use other methods when he is done eating to get his attention- maybe go for a short walk- or if it were Layla - she LOVES playing ball- so we would do that. Or give him a toy that will get his attention (kong or something like it) so that hopefully he will drop that habit.
Also did you check the ingredients of the bison? Sometimes there is STILL chicken in there... grrrrr
