I have purchased a polish crele rooster, but which hen do I go for?

I have purchased a Crele rooster, and I am picking him up on Monday, and I have a choice of hens... splash, chamois, pale crele, or white crested cuckoo...

Which one would I be better to go for to stand a chance of hatching out crele chicks?? I already have chamois smooth and frizzle.. I have a self black, and a silver laced..

Any ideas would be grateful

The "pale Crele." Sounds like they're just the silver version, so your offspring will produce sex-linked Creles. Females will be Crele, males will be "golden" type (both gold and silver genes)

Chamois will just mess up the color, White crested Cuckoo will mess up color and crest color, splash will throw in blue and get rid of the original color that makes the bird crele. (duckwing or partridge)
