I have 2 week old chicks who suddenly got brittle feathers. They are eating and drinking as normal and have normal poop with an occasional diaherra. Should i br concerned ??

Welcome to BYC.
I don't see anything wrong. Looks like they are just losing the baby fluff and getting real feathers in.

Thank you! That is a relief to hear!

They look normal to me. Chicks go through a series of juvenile molts as their feathers come in. Especially as they lose the down on their heads and necks they can look very scruffy as the down tends to cling to the new feathers as they come in.
