I just searched the Hobbit and found only the previously mentioned quote. But I suppose that there would have to be baby orcs (Aww...isn't Ugluk Jr. cute?), or else there would be no orcs. I am pretty sure Sauron wasn't doing any strange scientific cloning and Morgoth wasn't either.
The other quote I found interesting. That would have to imply that there are female orcs-- but where? Are they fighters like the male orcs? I would think they had to be. If they are, are they mentioned anywhere at all?
sorry if I've gone off topic and doubly sorry if someone has discussed this before.
