I'm not much of an expert.. But, that being said. When the Chins "fight" Are they making noises? My chins like to romp, but the don't make any noise. Unless they are grooming each other, and a little eek comes out.
A friend of mine had chins who fought, they barked, growled, and sprayed urine at each other.
If that's what's happening, separating them may be the best option. You don't want any massive injuries, or stress.

Separate the female from the male immediately. She could get pregnant and at her age it would be dangerous for her. Do not put the male in with your older chinchilla or you can end up with babies. You can try to introduce the young female to the older one. It may or may not work, so be prepared for 3 separate cages.
