The ”cracks” are called checks. They are very common. It can be made worse from building and applying heat to the home before they are completely dry. DO NOT fill these checks unless they are running into windows, doors or corners. This is the logs way to ”breathe”, so leave them alone. It sounds like they are very new logs.
