5. You do not want to move them to pots until they have true leaves on them.

Usually the first two leaves are not true leaves (I do not know about the chives and how that would work). Don't be in too big of a hurry to move them.

One thing that I used to have problems with in a situation like yours is too much moisture building up inside. Now that you have the cotyledons (first leaves), make sure to open it to fresh air occasionally or you will have damping-off, which is a healthy looking little seedling rotting at the soil line and dropping over. They need circulation.
