Dead chicken egg? (day 9)

[Eden3021]

This is my first time incubating eggs. I had some trouble with my first incubator, and had to buy another on day 4. I quickly candled them while I was transferring them, and this one definitely had growth and was moving. It's now day 9, and I candled them again to find this one like this. It's floating at the top, and it floats around when I move the egg. I see no veining, or movement when I hold it still. The air pocket seems to be gone as well. I'm assuming it's dead, just hoping for someone who has a little more experience than me to confirm it!

It looks like it’s dead I’ve hatched ducklings and chicks multiple times and if it moves around quickly when you move it, it’s usually dead. And it’s floating at the top so that too. + no veins. What do you think happened that caused it to die? Transferring the eggs? What differences were there between the incubators?

Thanks, that's what I figured. The first incubator was a cheap one I bought off of Amazon, and I had a horrible time keeping the temperature consistent. I let it run for a few days before putting eggs in, and it seemed fine, but then it just progressively got more and more inaccurate. I had bought a pretty highly rated Bluetooth thermometer to keep track, and had another portable one in there with it to check for accuracy.
I woke up in the middle of the night to check it, and it was up past 102 (I had it set to 99.5). I cracked the lid to get the temperature down (I live in Florida. Even indoors, it's pretty humid), and got it back pretty steady in the upper 99's. When I woke back up a few hours later, it had dropped down to 97.2. I have everything set up my house where the temperature stays pretty consistent, and I had saw some people online suggest wrapping it in a towel to keep the temp more steady, but it was still all over the place. I decided it wasn't worth the stress, and got a pretty nice (and more expensive) one from TS.
The new one seems to keep the temperatures and humidity pretty steady, but I suppose the damage had already been done. Or maybe something else all together! I had expected some casualties along the way, so here's to hoping at least a couple hatch!

Ah yes, the slightest thing can hurt them. Once mine was unplugged for a bit (I was unaware) and come back to half the eggs dead. Pretty disappointing. Best of luck hatching the rest!
