Orcs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was just wondering... are there female orcs? All the orcs mentioned in the books seem to be male and, well I can't imagine an orc with a skirt on, can you? (Not that all females have to wear skirts)And also- what happens to orcs when the die? I know they're made from mutilated Elves, so do they return to the Hall Of Mandos? Do they like Elves get re-born? And if so are they re-born as orcs or do they go back to being the Elf they would've been if Morgoth hadn't tampered with them? If anyone knows the answer, please say so.
Thanks,
Nienna
