Approximately a month ago, our younger chick was ataacked by an older hen. She was about 8 weeks old. Now, 4 weeks later, she has had her wound cleaned and changed every day. The tissue has gotten thicker but the tissue doesn't seem to be growing up the protruding bone. Does thins just take a long time? Or is there any advice on action we can take in this situation? I will post a photo from day 1, a week ago, and yesterday.

That's not going to heal properly. The bone is off color so infection might be imminent. Amputation may be the only fix for this type of injury.
 
I just want to assure OP that this is not a death sentence. We got a hen in a group we bought that we did not even realize for a while that she was missing a wing. We don't know how she lost it but she got along fine without it.
