During my 2 year stint in Japan (although I was mainly around adults 25+) I never once heard an adult Japanese national refer to another with the "chan" attachment. Not once. They either used -san or nothing at all. Mind you, this was mostly within a casual environment as I did not possess the Japanese ability to understand professional conversations.

I did hear women refer to their close male friends with "kun" however.
