Re: RE: Spawning of Orcs

I think the reason we didn't here about Orc children or birth in the books is that most of that took place in Sauron's palaces and such in Morgoth. And for the orcs that wouldn't have been bred in Morgoth, like say the Misty Mountain Orcs, they might have had their own personal breeding grounds in which the books never went. Also, maybe there were females were in the books, just that they themselves were so twisted and ugly, the characters in the books might have thought them male.
