the mud looks bad. Don't know your climate all that well but junipers can be repotted later than most other conifers as they grow all season long. I'd suggest getting them out of the mud ASAP into a well draining mix, at least for 1/2 of the rootbase -- maybe consider removing all of the soil in about 1/3 of the circumference now and the balance next year. I wouldn't bare root the whole thing, however. Just one thought, maybe others will have better ideas.
