There is no reason to think that you should add 'es' to way to make it plural. It follows the same rule as any other word ending in 'y' preceded by a vowel: monkey, monkeys; tray, trays; boy, boys.

You may be getting confused between that rule and the rule that applies to words ending in 'y' preceded by a consonant. In that case, you change the 'y' into 'i' and add 'es': baby, babies; pony, ponies; dandy, dandies.
