it's not uncommon for summer squash to develop BER for the same reasons that tomatoes do. Cabbage and cauliflower and peppers, for instance, canalso develop BER.
And if it's BER the ends will have a dark brown to blackish area but if it's just a lack of pollination the ends of the infant squash will just look withered.
Be sure that you have both male and female blossoms on the plants before you think of hand pollinating, which is something I never had to do.
