Hi from Wales,Chalpaken. Apologies never needed re names as all a name is is a (hopefully) unique identifier.
Chicken crosses are often very pretty. I currently keep mainly pure bred Brahmas and Naked Necks, but always have some 'Farmyard Mixes' for variety. I used to keep La Flèche,too....and, of course, their cross with Naked Necks gave me Naked Flèche......
Sheep are heavily influenced by their stomachs. Why not leave out some food for them close to the house as a step before offering them hand food? All sheep are inherently nervous due to being a prey species, so need a little coaxing. They do tend to tame down quite quickly, though. I've never had to 'tame' truly wild sheep, but we have sheep that spend the greater part of their lives on common land with almost no human contact. They become tame in quite a short time when bought down from the mountains.
Take some pics. of your new woolly friends when you can.
