Hi there,

I'm guessing that you have grown them yourself ?
or brought small plants?
The jagged leaves are the proper leaves that will grow as the cucumber grows. The only thing you should pinch out are side shoots on climbing vine varieties, I don't know if the ones you have are outdoor or green house types. Some older varietys also have non fruiting flowers which I think also need to be removed, to be on the best side look up info of what you have growing.

Happy gardening.
