I have 10 hens and I had 2 roosters. However, this morning the dominant rooster attacked my oldest son. So, the rooster is now gone. My hens have been laying 2 to 3 eggs a day and today we only got 1. Did I mess up their egg laying by eliminating the big man???

No But it might take a week or two to get them back on track. We moved three of our roos out of the hen house and it took about a week for them to get back laying. They can get upset and stop laying over the sillest things
 
It may take them a little while to get back into the swing of things, but a few lost eggs is a small price to pay for your son's safety. I do not tolerate ANY aggressive behavior from my roos. My wife is 5 months pregnant and I have a four year old nephew(he thinks the chickens are his) who comes over all the time. I do not take any chances.
