do duck eggs taste like chicken eggs?

I think slight taste differences come from ducks free ranging. They eat greens and flowers, which really enriches their eggs. BTW down in California they grow Marygold for the flower pedals. The pedals get mixed into chicken feed at chicken batteries, so the eggs are better. It enriches the color of the yolks and strengthens the flavor. Anything to get the sales edge at the supermarket shelf. People prefer an egg rich in orange color over lighter yellow looking ones. Thought I might throw this in, when it comes for flavor and color. Same principle applies to duck eggs or free ranging chickens.

I ate duck eggs all winter when my chickens were resting. (I don't use artificial lighting.)
Now that my 5 hens are laying again I'm still using duck eggs because I have so many.
The ones I don't use I give to a chef in town.

Eggs is eggs but duck eggs is best!
