He is an American Gamefowl but they are further divided into strains. Usually named for the people who bred them. Rarity depends on the strain and sometimes color. American Gamefowl eggs are all over eBay and many do not sell for even a few dollars a dozen. Anyone can breed them.

Could it be a Cubalaya? I have a book that shows a picture of the rooster for that breed and it looks just like that.

Cubalayas have a long, sweeping tail that is held low

No.

What book? It's entirely possible they didn't use the right photo.

There are photos of real cubalaya in the breed database. There is a distinct difference between them and other breeds.
