Not grown them before, the Butternut squash we are trying is growing well
and flowering but they all seem male flowers, is that a normal timing thing
or am I supposed to be doing something?


Normal. They produce lots and lots of male flowers first, then go over
to female flowers. It's the plant's way of trying to avoid self-
fertilisation.
