Eggs at 14 days - would appreciate input

A dry membrane is brown. In your pictures membrane looks white/transparent which is good and tears easily with the egg tooth of the chick. Your coconut oil seems to have done the trick for now. I’d just let them have time to finish absorbing their yolk. That’s why I suggested the 24 hour time frame.
It wasn't transparent before I put the coconut oil onto it, but that's good to know. Thank you very much...I have the humidity as high as it can...about 75 to 80...and I will wait 24 hours. I want you to know how grateful I am for the advice and help of someone who actually knows what they are doing! Thank you, thank you! :hugs
 
And we have a new life in the world!!! Do I leave it in there to dry even with the high humidity?

Yes! Leave it in there. Especially if the other one hasn't hatched. Chicks can survive off their yolk for up to 3 days. Its usually recommended to keep them in there for 24 hours or until nice and fluffy.
 
Can it get fluffy with really high humidity?
Take it out and rub it gently with a tooth brush, and rub it with a towel. The, as long as one side of your brooder is 95 degrees, you can put it in there to get fluffy. It probably won't dry too well with that high of humidity.
