How to identify a mule duck?

So is it best to list them as possible Mule's to be safe? I'm going to sell 8 of them. I already have a dozen ducks so don't need all of them.

Id just list them as ducks... And in the artical say they might be 'mule' ducks. If I were u I would let mom raise her babies till she chases them away and weans them. I dont know of that was your plan or not but its a little cruel to take babies from mom

No, I was going to sell 8 now that they are a week old and let her keep 4. Going to keep the 2 Muscovy and keep 2 of the Khaki's in case the two I bought this year turn out to be male. I have her in her own pen right now with all the ducklings and away from all the other ducks. I'm trying to keep her as stress free a possible. I know it will be stressful to remove the ducklings but hoping that leaving 4 will help.
 
You'll be able to tell for sure once they get older. Mule ducks always look part muscovy part something else and don't usually have the same stance as a muscovy or the heavy caruncling.

These are some muscovy (father) welsh harlequin crosses (mother) I hatched
