I'm not so sure that kind of tactic works across ethnicities in Hawai'i. Assuming that the rooster breeder isn't haole ... I think it would just inflame things. In certain cultures, roosters are just a part of life, not considered obnoxious, in Hawai'i and other places ...
and the people who want roosters were here first.
Upsetting them with something noxious - they won't buy into the psychology, you will just confirm any ideas that your kind is not cool ...
I had a problem with my neighbor's burning trash and the smoke coming in my bedroom. We talked about it. Luckily he understood it's no fun to be choking. Had I done something like turned my radio up to the max or promoted noxious odors - I don't think any good would have come of it.
btw, this same neighbor has since then helped me out more than once and I really like them and am so glad I never got into it with them over loud parties, loud vehicles, or their dogs' barking ... all of which are not my favorite, but it's their lifestyle.
Wouldn't have changed anything and would have lost a good relationship.
That said, 80 roosters is real tough to put up with. [
