If it is afirmative, the first one. 
If you want to ask a question, then none of them are correct.
It would be: Don�t they always ask silly questions?
I believe you wanted to write afirmative sentences but you were asking... Am I right??
Aisha ;)

I think both are correct. This is the use of  frequency adverbs. It depends on your sentence. For example I sometimes write letters.or I write letters , sometimes.

Agree with Aisha. Statement: They don�t always ask silly questions. Question (you are asking the listener to agee with you, or it would be: Do they always ask silly questions? ): Don�t they always ask silly questions? or even: Don�t they always ask silly questions!

It is better to say " They never ask silly questions." 
or for partial negation say"they don�t always ask silly questions. "
for asking say "Do they always ask silly questions? "
