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.

However, in bad years (i.e. dark and/or cold), they don't always
change over. I had that on my hubbards one particularly wet summer.
