Default Cucumbers and Male Flowers

Man...my cucumbers vines have an abundance of female flowers, but very few males. Thus I have no cucumbers.

I seem to remember this being the case the first time I grew them a few years ago, or at least I remember it took a while before they started to make. (This is only my second time.) So my question is: is this normal so early in the season with certain varieties or what?

I plan on hand-pollinating them. In fact, I tried that this morning, but I don't know how it went. Very little, if any, visible pollen, and definitely not enough to go around.
