Apparently some of the pics didn't make it out of the cutting room, since it says that specifically under one of the shots of Lurtz strangeling the Isengard orc.

In the LotR "Weapons and Warfare" or what ever was the books name, they said that Saruman had some kind of breeding pits where the uruk-hai were born (?). I'm not quite sure , what that means nor I know how that'd work in practice... I just think that what ever that slimy orc number 2 was it wasn't Lurtz's mum. *shudders*
You're right about the Weapons & Warfare book, & since PJ decided to go with the breeding idea over the birthing one (wether he was right or wrong), I'm pretty sure we can take the other orc as 'just another one waiting to be hatched', like Son of Numenor said.
I'm sure they were packed in there like sardines anyway .
