lambs
Flock's woolly babies
Lambs is the plural of lamb—young sheep, typically under a year old.
The word extends to the meat from such animals: We're having lambs for the dinner party.
Figuratively, lambs are innocent or gentle people, easy prey for wolves or others who would exploit them.
To lamb is to give birth, said of ewes: The flock is lambing early this year.
