Hi!! If you take look at the picture attached the chives are falling down. Its really hard to water them as I am scared they are too weak. Any tips or advice?

Don't worry about your chives drooping after watering. If they are getting enough sun they will quickly stand up.
Herbs in a pot are more prone to over watering than herbs in the ground. Chives need only damp soil. They can handle under watering better than over watering. Over watering will result in root/bulb rot. You have other herbs growing in the same pot - do they all have the same water and sun light requirements?
I'm impressed you have that many chives from seed! I have the worst time with regular chives, garlic chives easier. As for watering, I try to water the dirt, not from above if that makes sense. If they are out with rain, a different story!
If that is parsley, will need thinned soon, with pulled leaves used in the kitchen. Suggestion is to thin some, see how they are doing, thin again, and get a balance.
