They were planted too close to each other but that is pretty much normal. People don't realize how much they will grow. When I was a kid we had one that was thirty feet tall if it was an inch.
I would rake out the fallen "leaves" between the trees, anything that is loose should be removed. Otherwise they look pretty normal to me.

I've never fertilized one nor do I know anyone that has done so. They definitely need the dead leaves raked out from between them and cutting some of the dead-looking branches from the interior won't hurt.
Do a Google for Arborvitae, there are lots of good articles.
