Chives

I planted some chive plants about three to four weeks ago and they were growing fine but when I recently went to check on them, half of them just disappeared. I’ve kept a constant check on them and saw no signs of holes, yellowing, or any other problem that might be related to bugs. Literally, they were there one day and gone the next. So I was wondering if birds ate the plants, or perhaps it’s something I’m not familiar with.

Deer would be my first guess. They can eat plants like this to the ground. Even if you have a fence, they can (and will) jump a 6 foot fence without needing a run up. An 8 foot fence, if they can get a running start. This article may help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/deer/deer-repellents.htm ^[1]
