How are you checking for wear? Are you using a chain checker?
I'd expect considerably more than 1800km out of a single speed chain, assuming you've not over tensioned it (no binding, tight spots) If you're trashing them that quickly, I'd be checking that your chainring and freewheel aren't worn out and prematurely wrecking the chain.
