What would have happened here if my pupper hadn't been on her leash, /an/?
The rabbit stared at us for a second and then ran the wrong way before finding a way out of our yard, so if I had been taking my pupper out just to play instead of for a walk I'm positive she'd have caught the bunny. Would she have just instinctively killed and eaten it?

depends. It might have tried to play with it or something.
Maybe not killed and eaten it, but it would have injured the rabbit either way if she tried to play with it.
I had a dog who tried to play with a young chicken who got out, the dog was pretty small but the chicken still got fucked up

Depends on the dog.
My puppy's been noticing birds more and more lately and looking at them intently.
I wonder if she'd think the rabbit's a cat, she likes hanging with cats and always asks my aunt's to play with her, brings him her toys and stuff. [spoiler]He never wants to play.[/spoiler]
My previous dog was obsessed with finding squirrels and rabbits. Never caught a squirrel, but he did once catch a rabbit. Once he finally caught it he just stood there with it in his mouth for a bit, like "oh shit I didn't think I'd get this far, now what do I do?", and eventually decided to shake it about like a toy.
Eventually he let it go and the rabbit limped off. Fairly sure it died.

my doggo once uncovered a whole nest of baby rabbits and just barked at them until I covered them up again and put him inside
Most dogs, especially puppies, won't commit to biting forcefully onto something until they knows what it is.they are biting. More than likely pupper would have bit just enough to restrain or cornered it and barked while gently nipping it for a bit.
This is basically my experience with having dogs and chickens while growing up.
