Cloning Custom Fields

I am looking to clone custom fields and be able to apply them to multiple custom objects - EXAMPLE: I want to have Field 1, 2 & 3 on custom object A, and I need anothe object (Object B) to use the same 3 fields - I know that I can recreate them individually, but then I have to manage 6 picklists Vs. 3 picklists, etc.
 
 I have been searching help and this board but unable to find an answer - anyone help?

You can use the metadata API to copy the XML definitions and then add them to objects in any org you have permissions to. I would use the Force.com IDE:
