Though what I would do is add FreeBSD to the Windows bootmenu instead.
I would suggest that you use your system BIOS menu for any multiple disk setup. When you system is booting you should be able to get a boot menu or system menu. On my specific motherboard pressing F12 gives a menu of all the disks in my machine and I then just select which I want to boot. I have 4 different OSes on different disks and this is how I have been handling this for at least 5 or 6 years.
Hey,
When I used to use Windows Vista (about ten years ago) I used to use a proprietary app called EasyBCD that handled dual booting magically. It seems to be still available as freeware for non commercial use:

I can’t tell you what the project is like now, however, as I don’t use Windows. But it was great ten years ago and made everything so easy.
In my bios i go in the config and i can tell it which uefi devices to boot and in what order.
Isn’t the whole point of dual booting that you want a nice menu to come up - rather than tapping a key manically every time you turn your machine on?

Well, menus are nice, but I think the OP wanted the automagick sort of startup, with FreeBSD being the automatic default. The BIOS order does give you this - it's not necessary to hit a key each time.
