I just bought a NN Aloha cockerel on Easter, and he has yellow earlobe's. Is this normal looking or not?

Do you mean normal for the color or just in general? I have hens that have ears that color, but I don't have alohas so I don't know about that

I've just never seen yellow earlobe's before on a chicken, so I was just curious.

Oh, yeah I think buff Orpingtons are notorious for it if they're hatchery quality. My pheonixes occassonally have them, same with my spitzhaubens. Not sure if any breeds are supposed to have then, but they do

I guess as long as it's not something that shouldn't have happened I'm glad, because he's pretty otherwise. The yellow just threw me off.

Yellow earlobes are what happens when a white-earlobed chicken eats a diet with yellow corn. It’s harmless, and not unusual.
