I have no idea how you would free-range rabbits! How do you get them to return to their hutch in the evening?

From what I know, they don't. They are out all day 24/7

So most probably a 'colony' set-up, there must be some sort of fencing involved to keep them from running/hopping away.

Yes, I'd say it's more of a colony setup, although the only fencing put in place for them is the fencing around the property

Must be really annoying to try to catch! Would they qualify as 'fast food'?

I don't think the person who has them even bothers with trying to catch them. From what I understand they keep them as a wild rabbit experiment. Definitely fast food though

OK here it goes, one more question for all you chicken genetics gurus. I would ask this in a genetics thread, but I fear I'd get torn appart way too much, and since I'd like to one day, hopefully, become a genetic guru-ish , I fear that my reputation will be forever ruined. So here it goes. I have Cruella right? There's a chance she's a silky carrier, so here is what I'm thinking. Say that she does happen to carry the silky gene. We already know the rooster has two copies. So, 50% of the chicks would be silkied and 50% normal feathered carriers. Here is where I might be dumb. Doesn't that mean that the silkied birds would be pullets, and the carriers cockerels? I apologize in advance if you need some bleach after reading this

OK, so where in my thinking did I completely lose track?

You looked at it as a sexlinked trait.

Welp, the fact that I only now just understood my mistake just proves how much more studying I have to do on this subject. Any good books you recommend  ?
