What can I get with this beautiful roo? Cross with what?

He looks like a Jaerhorn.

I agree. I do not see any Silkie in him what so ever.

Maybe in his foster mom? (who hatched the unrelated egg)

Well, creole is something else entirely (bring on the jambalaya and crawdads! oh, and cafe au lait)

Your rooster reminds me of my mother-in-law's rooster. He is big and beautiful as well as kind. I would love to have some of his offspring but he is in Sweden and I am not sure how I could bring some eggs back for incubating. I was thinking that I could just carry some in my jacket pocket on the plane but since the incident on christmas day I don't think I could sneak them through now.

Yes, you shouldn't try sneaking eggs on the plane! LOL

I have decided to just pen Obama with a few girls of different breeds, and see what I get. Just a fun little side project!

Crele is a colour pattern; silkie is a breed. I used to have a crele silkie.

Yeah, creoles are what some people call thier mix breed chickens in La. Its kinda a colloquial dialect thing, if you look at the color pattern of a crele roo it probly doesn't get any more mixed looking than that.

One of the 7 or so definitions in Webster's creole means of mixed lineage. So I'd say that Obama could be called a creole by definition and I still havn't found crele in the Webster's dictionary or World Book dictionary.

And yes I know exactly what a crele color patterned bird is.

So what I'm saying is in some places in La. the rooster in topic could be called a creole chicken, I have about 25 or 30 of them that I call my whatchamacallits.
