Do you know what species? If it's a mallard or other wild species, please google local wildlife shelters or rehabilitators, if there's a chance it can be reintroduced I think that'd be best for the lil' guy.

Do you have Muscovy duck in your area? could be a Muscovy duckling or Pekin as far as I know wild ducks other than Muscovy don't have solid yellow ducklings.

That's too bad. do you have water close by like river or lake because ducks will travel far to nest then walk their ducklings to nearest water, and alot do get left behind. Do you know of anyone who would take the lil one in?

you don't say what state your in but we have a thread called 'where am I where are you" go to it and look up your state you may find someone willing to take the lil one in..
