How do you put a stop to them? I like to keep my varmints on full feed. so far not bothering the quail or chickens.

Put the dog food bowl in a larger pan full of water, make sure it doesn't touch the sides.

What Bob said. If you have bulk contaminated you can bake them. They became extra protein.

Sit a bowl in the middle of a pie plate, put dawn dish soap in the pie plate.

This is the best way to use the feed bowl in a bowl of water. Without the soap to weaken the bonds of the hydrogen atoms at the surface of the water, ants can walk on water because of the surface tension.
