Some husks open by themselves, some only partially. Generally though they are easy to open with a gloved hand. That is typical of Black Walnuts too, but they ave massively harder to shell.
I have a ton of Black Walnuts and they taste great, but am moving to plant the English to reduce the shelling time and trouble.
