They are not fertiliser. Use a cotton swab or paintbrush to transfer pollen from the male flower (skinny) to the female flower (has mini zucchini) when the flowers are open.

It could be blossom end rot, caused by a lack of calcium. Or it could be poor pollination. Make sure the plants are watered evenly. I add a few spoons of powdered oyster shell while planting tomatoes, squash, peppers and eggplant but garden lime can also be used.
