Common vetch (Vicia sativa) is a useful weed or crop that can be fed fresh or dried to rabbits. We don't happen to have a lot of it on our land, so I fed it only now and again. I needed to look it up for a detail in my novel and I thought I'd stop here for a couple of minutes to post about it.
It is a legume, so fixes nitrogen in the soil. An annual, but it should seed itself. A prolific grower that can be seeded in waste areas unsuitable for other crops. Rabbits seem to find it palatable.

No time to post more just now . . . I'm in the middle of intense revisions and editing, so heading back to 1890 for a couple more hours before bedtime.
