The vast majority of mammals deliver their young far more capable of surviving on their own than humans.
The birthweight is low, I'd think, but the young would grow quickly.
I'm guessing they walk on their own pretty soon. And are able to eat solid foods within a very short time too.
I recall some lore stating that orc litters often fight for food, so only the strong grow to adulthood. On the other hand, any injury that doesn't kill an orc outright will have a much better chance of eventually healing on its own than for a human.
