Thats good,but r they suppose to look so ratty looking,do i need to do something?

How old are they? They may be going through a molt. I have never seen spotted feathers like that on a silkie however. Are yours silkie mixes or pure bred silkies? You can also post on the "Silkie thread." where you may get more thorough information.

She said they were pure,they r still chicks idk if they molt so young
