I just found my Berried RCS dead...before I remove her should I try to seperate her from the eggs? She was berried for about 10 days.

I doubt that the eggs would end up hatching unless you could set up some sort of mini-tumbler. I am sorry for your loss.
Try making a DIY tumbler, I made one for when one my Marmorkrebs (crayfish) died and was about half way through her berried term. A surprising amount of the eggs actually developed into crayfish. Oh, and I removed the eggs from the body so the rot wouldn't affect them or the water. *shrugs* Worth a shot maybe?
Out of curiosity- what is an egg Tumbler? Do eggs need some sort of kinetic stimulation in order to hatch?
Does a tumbler keep the eggs moving to simulate the movement of the adult animal? Or is it something differently entirely?

I got some of the eggs of her...I had to be a little rough (sadly)
I tried to place them in java moss under neath the filter discharge, hoping for the best but expecting nothing.

Hatching orphan eggs
One of the members at the Arizona inverts forum had a thread about trying to artificially hatch eggs from dead females. You would have to register in order to see the pictures, but here is the link.
Good luck with the eggs.
