Rough bits on quail eggs

[HattiLongSoks]

Hi everyone, hope you're having fab days wherever you are. We had a lovely bright sunny day in Yorkshire, UK and now the thundery weather again!

Anyway! I've been getting eggs from my quail the past few days which has been lovely. I believe we've got 2 laying.

I did want to ask should I be worried about eggs that aren't completely smooth with rough bits? One had a sandpaper patch at the bottom. Another has bits at the top (first photo, second is just 3 pretty eggs!) is this something I need to worry about?

All the hens seem good and happy. They have enough feed (though I am going to change their food for a better one without seeds mixed in with the pellets as advised by another BYCer), they have grit, they have oyster shell (though I only added that recently since I had to order it) lots of water. Treats like meal worm. Do I need to be concerned?

Seems perfectly in line with their range of normal, from what I've seen. Some hens even spatter the whole egg with texture. Shouldn't impact hatchability or edibility.

Looks and sounds normal to me.

This happens to my quail eggs, they always seem completely fine however I don't imagine it feels too good when they're trying to lay eggs like that.
