I am no squash expert but as far as the flowers you have male and female flowers and the ones that have the lil squash on them is the females i think but you will have those with just a flower. If conditions aren't rite the lil squash will rot but i have never seen anything eat them. If you plant too early and the cold gets them then they may be stunted for life. For me last year was a bad year for a garden , just the weather i guess but my squash didn't do so good and eggplant was a bust. if they got hit by cold pull them up and put in some more seed , they'll germinate fast now and maybe do better....
