Squash Browning and Rotting

Question

The tips of my yellow squash are turning brown and starting to rot. They are still young and small and are no bigger than two or three inches long. I know the flower will die and turn brown, but where the flower is connected to the squash, it is doing the same. Should the flowers be plucked off once they start dying, or is this a watering or pest issue? The plants themselves look great.
