Check the underside of your leaves there may be small yellowish larvae having dinner?

If not it might be slugs...some advice on here saying that sunflowers are slug safe when the stems are furry...which I didn't previously know 👍🏻

Still not in the ground I'm scared in case I kill them? Do they need to be with support? And any particular location?

Dont be scared, have Faith in your beautiful seedlings, pick some out and keep a few potted, thats my advice. Well done so far! :-)

These #sunflowers on the other hand look great...but too many in the tin...should I take some out? #advice will they be ok straight to ground or should I mini pot them and take them in and out for a bit?

In and out for a bit 👍🏼 ( try not to shake them about 😂) enough bad puns ) pot them on individually before, stick them in a crate or box all together to make life easier getting them acclimatise to the great out doors.( plant half the seedlings stalks below the surface (roots pop out very quick and make for much better stronger plants) and watch them romp away 😜 hope that helps.
