Happened to us last year. I see the color and I think the plant is outgrowing the nutrient supply and nitrogen supply.
This is assuming your garden has the standard 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of dark or somewhere around that.

Are there seeds in them? Might be lack of pollination
.
Do you remember what variety? Possible lack of water. Some of my stuff has been a little weird with all the 90* days we have been having.
They are over mature. The yellow hue is the clue.
If they are not the small pickling type they may be a gynoecious variety and not getting good pollination.

I don't know what's wrong with your cucs TNT. I will go with the over-mature, and throw in an overwatered for good measure.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to throw a different vegetable in here. Sorry, but there's not much action in this section and I thought we could just keep this going for you and me
anyway, I built this so I could grow some sweet corn, for one thing..
Lately, Several of my corn plants are yellowing in the growth whorl and one got slightly wet and didn't unfurl at all. I discarded that plant. Don't mind the white powder, it is diatomaceous earth I sprinkled yesterday to perhaps deal with an unknown bug that is eating the edges of the leaves. I haven't found the little buggers yet. I think they come out at night.
thanks for any help!

here, we rarely have nights above 12C (53f) This morning, a few minutes ago, it was 7.5C (45f). We can have a frost anytime. Tomatoes and cucumbers are always at risk.
So I built a plastic shelter. From scratch. It turned out to be more detail than I expected. We can have snowload here, so I made it collapse-proof with a good roof slope and more than average bracing. Most of the "kits" are very expensive and not very strong.
we would prefer a beautiful wooden one. This will do for now.
we didn't start anything in the house, and just got the roof plastic on about a week ago, so everything is late..oh well.
This is a while ago, and shows the structure better.
I made a couple of bending jigs and it worked out ok.
Uggggg!!! Wtf! Sideways again. Sheeesh.
Wifey found a green caterpillar on the beans yesterday. We released him into the wild..He was not a typical caterpillar that we normally see.

I agree with over mature. First time growing Boston pickling variety and have had a few that were missed when harvesting and when I found them later they were huge and yellow. The cucumber was still firm and not too bitter when I cut the yellow ones up. Wife thought they were bitter so I just put the slices in vinegar with onion and ate them that way.
