Domestic rabbit
I will add another piece of information, this time from Czech Republic.
Here, rabbit is a part of our cuisine for a long time. You can find roasted rabbit in a lot restaurants and a lot of people eat them at home. There was even a time when rabbit meat was the cheapest meat on market and we often had it in our school cafeteria (although that is a long way back). In rural areas, rabbits are often kept for food and fur alongside chicken - in the last century, there were even travelling "rabbit fur buyers" going from village to village and some might even exist to this day. My parents and grandparents raised them for food and fur as well and from what I remember, they bred like crazy and were fairly easy to care for (compared with larger animals).
There are also commercial "mass producers" of rabbit meat here (and they export to rest of Europe as well as I found out). From what I found, it seems the methods are similar to mass production of chicken and it seems it can be scaled and automatized similarily, so I guess there would be no problem making rabbit the "new chicken" in some other timeline.
The meat is similar to chicken - it does not have a lot of it's own taste and takes on the taste of other ingredients / spices, it is white and has low fat. Personally, I like it, but there are people who can't stand it - like every other food I guess.
