"He lives happily and has been checked by a vet to ensure he is in no pain. He can eat, sleep and do everything other sheeps can."

Can we say, "One sheep, two sheeps, three sheeps..."?

Hi Hublot!In English there are some nouns which have only one form both in the singular and plural:deer,sheep,swine,fish,trout,salmon etc.We distinquish them in the sentence with the help of articles,pronouns,numerals and also predicates.For ex:
A sheep ; Five sheep;Some sheep
A fish; Ten fish; a lot of
A sheep ; Five sheep;Some sheep
A fish; Ten fish; a lot of

No, I'm afraid not. "Sheep" is one of a few irregular nouns in English whose plural form is identical with the singular. So you have to say "one sheep", "two sheep", "three sheep" and so on. In other respects "sheep" is like an ordinary noun in that it can take a singular or plural verb: "There is one sheep in the field" ~ "There are twenty sheep in the field".
