What the heck is wrong with my chives?

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer any insight into what's going on with my chives. I began all of my seedlings (chives, basil, cilantro, peas, peppers) in March and everything's taken off except for the chives. They were fine for the first little bit, but I haven't seen any growth at all since late April. Nada. Right now they just look like sparse, thin, underveloped clumps of grass. they aren't even thick/strong enough to hold themselves up! What gives? I have them in the same pot as my other herbs (basil, cilantro, garlic, shallots, dill) which is a coir, Miracle gro potting soil, compost and composted cow manure blend (about 3-3-3-1 respectively), I water whenever needed and give it some organic veggie food once a month... I know you generally don't get much from chives the first year but this is utter stagnation! Is this normal? Thx! :)
