rough eggs

[LVVCHAP]

I have an EE that lays an egg that has a rough testure and the shell is very thin. She gets the same diet as the others. She is also about 8 months old. Will she grow out of it? Or do some just seem to have this problem?

In some it's just an immature reproductive tract and they grow out of it. In others it's a chronic problem.
Here's some info. on sandpaper shells:

Thanks Gritsar,
Maybe I'll wait a while and see if it clears up on its own. I do have a light that turns on at 5:00 am in the coop but it is the same every day.
