Here's a picture of one chick, I took this morning. For size comparison, that's a nettle, to the left. This was taken from a distance.
I only saw the one chick; the parents had moved them to the tall grass (it won't be cut, until all chicks are more mature). Killdeer mature/develop longer within the egg, before hatching, than most other birds. By the time they hatch, they're about ready to run!
