Just because they were made from elves doesn't nesesarilly mean they breed the same way.

As we know they were corrupted elves and *Cannot* come from the ground.

Utumno is long gone by this age, and lets be honest int he world of ME orcs are slaughtered so they need to breed to keep Mordor's Armies full. Maybe orc children, but pls no orc mothers- that would be so weird. I have never heard of a female orc in any of Tolkein's writings, and there would be no point. There are female Orcs, as the context of The Hobbit hints, since it mentions Bolg being the son of Azog. Axog must have had him with a female Orc.
