Peggie,
I can't believe your little ones are already 5 weeks old! That is great. About their baldness...........what is happening is that they are losing their "baby" feathers and their permanent feathers will begin to come in soon. I don't know anything about that membrane you were speaking about - - - I've never heard anything like that before. To my knowledge, their heads are just like all other chicks. I will snap a pic of mine for you tomorrow and post. They are now 7 weeks old and their permanant feathers are coming in which I think makes them look like Don King! lolololol They are really cute.

p.s. Awwwwwwwww, I remembered that I snapped one yesterday while I was capturing my new little kittens. Take a peek at two of my Don King look-a-likes! LOL
