If a chain is too tight, the goat can become uncomfortable and this can cause rashes, infection, cuts. If the chain is too heavy for your goat, the goat can get a sore neck and often cuts and scratches from the chain. A goat should not be on a chain for an extended period of time, maybe when you cannot keep an eye on the goat if attention towards the animal is needed at all times or at night when animals can go astray.

What are those hanging things on a goats neck?

They are called wattles and have absolutely no purpose other than to adorn the neck. Any breed can have them, any sex can have them- not all goats have them, they "seem" to be genetic. Sometimes a goat will have only one, sometimes they will not be on the neck but under the ears like earrings or offset. They do no harm to have them other than when little babies are first born they may suck on each others wattles and they could get raw this way. They do have feeling and a blood supply and it is not a good thing to "cut them off" as some people have suggested.

Why does yawning cause cramps in neck?

Yawning stretches the muscles in the neck and throat, which can sometimes lead to cramps if the muscles are not used to that range of motion. Additionally, when we yawn, the muscles in the jaw and neck can tighten, leading to discomfort or cramps. Stretching and relaxing these muscles can help alleviate the cramps.

Why do cold sores or canker sores cause shooting pains into your head ear and chin?

I'm not a medical professional, but my guess is that, if it's in the right place, the sore can irritate your trigeminal nerve. Since it's responsible for facial sensation, a severe enough amount of pain (especially in the cheek or jaw) can "refer" pain to your ear, chin, or neck.
