Are you sure? In the beginning it was her bone that ripped through the skin an became exposed to air, can that heal on its own? I really wanna be sure.
 
If it is pus, the pus needs to be removed. FWIW, I have a young peahen that has a similar wound, but no pus or even a scab. I'll try to get some pictures for you to compare against.

Can you take a close-up of the wound? I'm curious if it's a sac vs. an abscess. A sac could be filled with anything. How much of the bone is exposed now? Is it the same as when you first discovered it? I think that if it is kept moist as it heals, the new cells may be able to migrate together over the bone. That's a really difficult place to put gauze and tape, so you'll just have to keep it gooped with Neosporin. If you can, though, take a close-up of the wound and the sac.
