That could have more than one cause, what do the carrots themselves look like if you pull one?

When my carrots have had carrot fly the foliage usually goes a reddish colour, but that's maybe splitting hairs as yellow is not good news either.

Do what Argyllie suggests, and if the roots are stunted rather than riddled with larvae it could be they are starving - the "minimal fertiliser" technique for carrot growing doesn't work in sandy soils like mine, especially after all the rain we've had.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
