A young or small sheep, especially one that belongs to a flock.
From 'flock' (a group of sheep) plus the diminutive suffix '-ling' (meaning small or young), similar to 'duckling' or 'gosling.'
Just like 'duckling' and 'piglet,' every animal gets a cute diminutive in English—'flockling' sounds adorable, but it's actually a real (if rare) word for a young lamb!
