Question Butternut Squash

I tried my first attempt at growing veg this year which included Butternut squash. I have 8 plants in 4 growbags which have grown huge. They have begun bearing fruit, with lots of open female flowers. The plants also contain lots of male flowers in the centre, but these have yet to open (females have been flowing for a week). Many of the female flowers on the squashes have already died and fallen away after a few days.

Should I worry?

No, sounds normal to me.
