Hello, quick question if their eyes are ok.

I noticed that their third eyelid are exposed (both of their eyes) but nontheless they have no other symptoms and still is active. They're Brahmas (5 months old), I just wanted to know if this is normal for them to have. Thank you!

Looks like Conjunctivitis. Are these new to you? I'd keep them separated from existing flocks until you determine if they have any other symptoms.

Since you have more than one with the condition, it may be due to respiratory illness. Mycoplasma or Infectious Bronchitis are a couple of common diseases that poultry can have.

General care for the eyes is to clean/flush with saline, then put ointment like Terramcyin or Original Neosporin in the eyes. Do this a couple of times a day until the eyes heal up.
