Are there female orcs, or are they simply androgynous? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tolkien always said that orcs "multiplied", that kind of gave them an even more filthy and uncivilized nature. They seemed to multiply almost like insects and a disease. It also never went into detail so they either just reproduced on their own or in the case of the Uruk-hai or the armies of Sauron, they were created by the evil magiks of Saruman or Sauron.
