What bird lays the best tasting eggs?

I have eaten chicken, guinea, pheasant, goose and turkey eggs. Of these species I thought guinea eggs made the best omelets, scrambled and fried eggs. Chicken and pheasant eggs were better hard boiled. I wasn't impressed with goose eggs but I understand they are good for baking. I haven't done enough baking to form an opinion. What kind of eggs do you think are best in different recipes?

Update:

Jesse S, the non chicken eggs might be hard to find if you only shop at supermarkets. Between myself and my friends I know people who raise all of those birds. I don't know how expensive they are because we trade our farm and garden surpluses. I've never paid cash for them.

Brown, white and blue/green chicken eggs all taste the same. Any differences in taste or yolk color are because of various feeds. Chickens who only eat layer pellets lay eggs with light colored yolks and no flavor. Chickens that roam and eat greens, bugs and worms lay more flavorful eggs with darker yolks. Sometimes they are almost more orange than yellow.

    I've only had chicken and duck. I prefer chicken.

    EDIT:

    For the record, there is no difference between a white and a brown chicken egg except the color.

    Well I never tried many bird eggs, just chicken, quail and i think i tried duck before. All i can say is that quail tastes the best of the two (three?). They are much smaller than your average chicken eggs and i am not sure if the supermarkets sell them but the asians market most likely have them. They are white or tan with brown flecks on them. We usually have them boiled but once i had it scrambled and it tastes better than chicken. But since they are tiny, i say about three quail eggs equal one chicken.

    Farm raised brown chicken eggs.

    The other ones are hard to find and are very expensive for the cost of them.

    Ostrich eggs are extremely strong egg yolk taste.

    I had a friend who raised south american chickens and they were blue and green. Very pretty. They tasted like regular brown chicken eggs. Plus the yolks were very yellow. Really good.

    Very impotent: If you chickens are kept in closed cage or a coop, than the diet you have to provide is a different, that free rooming chickens, if caged or free rooming chickens will eat anything that you give, for the ones that are in the cage, first thing and very impotent, you have to provide stone grits, or very course send, for chickens to have healthy digestions, and some animal food, cat food is fine, for best result, I use raw liver, chopped in too very small pieces, ounce or twice a week, since in the nature chicken depend on feeding on worms, all type of greens are accepted, pasta, anything from your kitchen is good, I add a tablet a multi vitamin in the drinking water, (1000mg from costco brand) is fine(human vitamin is fine for chickens too) for 15 years never lost a chicken from sickness, we have very healthy chickens,ofcourse healty chicken produce very high nutrian eggs too.
