Hi Lenora,
It may be because of the types of plants (all male).. I know who would have thought..

Same problem here, as well as with my pumpkins. Lots of 'male' blooms but no females to speak of. I think I got a total of 4 zukes off 2 plants. Though it was cut off, I think you said you pollinated them yourself, and still no fruit. Might be due to lack of water at the proper stage of development then. I didn't see an females on the pumpkins to even attempt pollination!
Hi Lenora - I could be numerous things but it does sound like pollination. Not enough bees in the area, or your zucchini only producing male or female flowers. One easy fix would be to take a few Q-tips and manually pollinate the female flowers (bigger and round) to the male flowers (thinner and oblong). Good luck! Hugs, Holly
Boys will develope very early, girls up to 4 weeks later...after that hold on to your sun hats...there will be a jillion babies.
im beginning to believe it’s just been too hot. We had a cooler week last week now I have lots of cucumbers, but still no zucchini.
