With poor pollination you get a small squash (1-3 inches long and thin)...at this point the female flower usually opens up and waits to be pollinated. If it's pollinted, the squash will continue to grow to full size. If it fails to receive pollination, the small squash with just shrivel up.

If you have lots of young squash, I would think the pollination
already took place. Has it been cool in your area? Squash slows down
when it is cool, and really grows fast ( need to pick every day fast)
when it is warm. Normally we pick every other day. But, it has been
raining and cool so we back off to every 3rd day or so.
Today, it's back in the mid 80's so I bet I have a pick out there
waiting for me.
