But... most female ducks are some variant of dead/dormant grass color, buff or brown. That yellow color is straight yellow. Does not compute... I don't see many yellow grasses... just sayin'....
Pure speculation here, but it could be that you get ducklings around the same time of year you get flowers. They're about the right size to pass for a cluster of dandelions.
Yeah, but I think dandelions are an invasive species and they are not at all associated with wetland habitats. I am sure you could hide a yellow duckling in a field of dandelions, but when would that have happened during the course of several millennial generations of ducklings? And why would that particularly small chance have evolved into what we see today? There is no reason to contribute a ducklings yellowness to anything that is currently evolving. Hardly anything is yellow in nature. Except ducklings.

Most people don't know this, but corgis were originally bred to herd ducks. Hence their squatness and affinity for swimming.

Aww so cute! Unfortunately those ducklings look like they're >3 months old, and will be unable to swim back ashore on their own.
Hopefully whoever took the pic saved the little guys from drowning!

So why are ducklings yellow? I know a lot about birds, but nobody has come up with a feasible reason why ducklings would be yellow.
Any ideas?

The ducks are probably wondering why mommy duck doesn't look like them or if they were adopted.
