Would the concrete need supports like pillars, or could the concrete be poured directly onto the ground?

Either way, the concrete floor will out-last the rest of the structure! Maybe plan ahead for when the wooden walls decay entirely, like by embedding beams or posts in the floor, to support the next barn or coop. Or just bolts ... I don't know how to construct a building on a concrete pad.
