Well good and bad news I guess.
Good news is I don't believe cutting the eggs was the cause of their deaths. Bad news is I believe they were dead for a long time.

I opened up the eggs today and unfortunately found 6 underdeveloped tiny babies.. none of them were longer than maybe 3.5in.

Anyone have any suggestions on why they passed? Could it have been the molding egg in the tub with them, or is it more realistic that they drowned/suffocated?
