I guess that makes sense. It'd also mean that a really small skaven group (only a few dozen) could get by by having some normal or less heavily "enhanced" females around, as they wouldn't have need for industrial-scale reproduction.

It does seem implausible that you could have female skaven living with their gender secret though. Even if they look the same to us, telling appart facial features is a learned skill, baby humans can learn to differentiate between animal faces better than adult humans can, so it's not really that human faces are completely unique in being distinct. My point being that the skaven probably could tell the difference between male and female skaven, and if not by looks, then by sound or definetly smell.
