For me the squirrels were the biggest issue. The rabbits are not interested so much in the chicken feed or the eggs. I have several in my yard as well. The bunnies seem to just want the grass or weeds nearby.
The tree rats however used to go into the coop and steal eggs. My killer chicken put a stop to that.
Personally I do not worry about the bunnies or squirrels anymore. Hardware cloth or even chicken wire keeps them both out of the chicken area. Could it be water they are really wanting? If so perhaps putting down a flower pot base and keeping it filled with water (fresh every day to prevent mosquitoes) would help.
