Chocolate Coloured Lambs

The Sunday before last we collected two new chocolate coloured lambs from a farmer who couldn't keep them with the rest of his flock. I am calling them Chino (as in cappuccino with a frothy white top, left) and Marble (as in Cadbury Marble chocolate, right). They are both girls and they're gorgeous. I intended to introduce them to the rest of my sheep gradually by letting some in with them for a while, but I couldn't get my girls to come down to the gate even with a lucerne bribe.  So I just opened the gate.  The other sheep didn't bother the new girls but Bobby chased them for a few days.  They have settled in now and are part of the family.  I haven't taken a 'group' photo yet but will add one later.
