My cockerel is dying. What is wrong with him and has been wrong with him?

I have some very bad news for you. My cockerel Georgie is dying.
He's stone cold to the touch, so thin you can feel every bone in his body, and he never stops sleeping. But he did have some issues as a chick...
When he hatched, he was unable to walk and layed on his back for the first 24 hours of his life. after he dried off in the incubator, throughout his life he would fall on his back and be unable to get up. later in life, he was getting slightly disoriented and ran in a stumbling gallop sort of way. Also note that he is three and a half months old and his two and a half month old hatchmate is twice his size, and female. It's clear that there's nothing I can do to save him now, but do you know what is wrong (and what has been wrong) with him?

EDIT:He just passed away today.

It sounds as if he was born with a congenital condition that has finally caught up to him.

Agree, it's something from birth. So sorry

That was my best guess as well. Right now he's sitting in the sun in front of food and water with his hatchmates. He's warmer, but not doing good.

@sourland, @Pampered chicken girl...
I'm afraid he died.
RIP Georgie.

So sorry for your loss.

Thank you, he was very special. I'm going to miss him following me around the coop and run.

Oh, and I almost forgot. He was always hungry and ate a LOT, but his crop wouldn't fill up at all.

I had a cockerel like that this spring. He died too
